How many laps around a 16 foot round pool make a mile?

Answer 1

70

84 is a better answer.

The above answer does not clearly state the 70 laps around the edge of the pool give the answer. (The circumference is 24 feet*3.14[pi] = 70.02 feet). It is better to use a 20 foot diameter (2 feet from the pool wall). This gives a circumference of 62.8 feet. Divide this into 5280 feet and you get 84 laps.

Answer 2

Well, actually if you attain the circumference of the collection of liquid by taking the diameter of 24 feet and multiplying it by pi which is approximately 3.14159265 you would come to an answer of 75.3982236 feet. And by taking the number of feet that exists in a mile which is 5,280 and divide that by the circumference you would get 70.02817504. Therefore we would have to proceed around the pool generally just under 71 times its simple math really, but this also does not include that we are traveling the vortex internally and not on the full exterior of the figure. so genuinely the fact is we'd have to go a slightly prolonged distance to achieve an exact mile.

Answer 3

If the pools circumference is 16 ft, you would need to swim 330 times round it to complete a mile.

Answer 4

220 times around makes one mile.

110 times around makes half a mile.

Answer 5

at 5280 feet per mile and 24 feet per lap that is 5280/24 = 220 laps

Answer 6

A pool with a circumference of 24 feet has a diameter of 7.64 feet, approx so it will take 691.2 laps.

Answer 7

330

Answer 8

50

Answer 9

72
