"Based upon the college track being 440 yards in length, it would take 4 trips around that oval to equal one mile.
5,280 feet = One mile
5,280 divided by 3 = 1,760 yards
1,760 yards divided by 440 = 4 (laps)"
Since the standard for tracks built in the last 20+ years is 400M, then you must go 9.344 meters further than 4 laps. Over 90% of the outdoor tracks in existence are only 400M and will thus require the extra 9.344 meters to equal a true mile.
This is why most track meets only run the 1500M or the 1600M and not the mile. Unfortunately, most people erroneously assume that 4 laps equal a mile, due to older tracks being built to a non-metric standard of 440 yards.
If you want to finish on the common start/finish line and you'd like to run/walk a mile, then you should start at the beginning of the 4x400M relay exchange zone, which is 10 meters before the finish line. By doing that you will run/walk about 1 meter more than 1 mile, but you won't be short of a mile, as you would be if you only do 4 laps.
about 20 that's what we did in gym
An NCAA Men's Basketball court is 94' x 50', so the perimeter is 288'. An NCAA Women's basketball court is 84' x 50' , so the perimeter is 268' .
There are 5280' in one mile, so 18 1/3 laps of a college men's basketball court or 19.7 laps of a Women's basketball court equal one mile.
Seven and a half laps
5 laps exactly.
4
the answer is 1200
depends on the size of the track
105
If you are referring to a standard track, no. 4 laps would equal 1 mile. 6 laps would equal 1.5 miles.
on a regular track 4 laps is 1 mile and 8 laps is two miles that is your answer
If its a track oval, its four laps for a mile. 2 laps for half a mile. if around a football feild, itd be about 4.5 laps
6 one lap =400m 6 = 2400m = 2.4km
2 miles is 8 laps of a standard 400 meter track.
The length of the track determines this. A quarter mile track would be 3 laps to equal .75 mile.
