On Sunday, I was out walking with my two daughters at our neighborhood high school. We were having a fun time and exercising hard, or at least two of us were! My oldest daughter, Emily, is quite the athlete and loves to run, but my younger daughter, Lauren..not so much. As I finished up my laps and sat down with Lauren, Emily kept running/walking laps. Because Lauren needs to get in shape for soccer, I told her "let's race down the football field!". As we finished racing and met up with Emily, we started discussing how far she had run doing laps around the field. Emily then asked, "well how many football fields does it take to equal a mile?"
Here's a real life question you might actually want to know the answer to and you might have to do a little math to figure it out! For EXTRA CREDIT, determine how many football fields it takes to equal a mile. Include both endzones in your computating. You must show your work on paper and then using WORDS, explain your reasoning and how you came up the with solution. This is due by Friday, September 16.
We'll let you know the answer after Friday! And in case you were wondering, I only wish this was the picture of my neighborhood with the beach in the background! :)
