A circular jogging track forms the edge of a circular lake that has a diameter of 2 miles. Johanna walked once around the track at the average speed of 3 miles per hour. If t represents the number of hours it took Johanna to walk completely around the lake, which of the following is a correct statement?

A. 0.5< t < 0.75
B. 1.75< t < 2.0
C. 2.0 < t < 2.5
D. 2.5 < t < 3.0
E. 3 < t < 3.5

Diameter =2
Circumference = 2 pi * 1 = 2 pi
Speed = 3 miles/ hour
Time , t= Distance / Speed
t = 2 pi / 3 = 2* 3.14 / 3 = 2* 1.05 = 2.10 approx
2.0< t < 2.5

D=2, and R=1
circumference thus is 2pi miles
we know that she walked 3mph
knowing the formula rt=D, we can deduce that t= D/r
D is 2pi miles and r is 3mph
t = 2pi/3
pi can be rewritten as 22/7
2*22/7 = 44/7 and multiply this by 1/3 = 44/21. This is greater than 2, but less than 2.5, therefore, 2<t<2.5. Answer choice C.

E. 3 < t < 3.5

Diameter of circular lake $$= 2$$ miles

Diameter $$= 2r$$ ------- ($$r$$ is the radius of circular lake)

Circumference of circular lake $$= 2\pi$$$$r$$ $$= 2\pi$$

Average speed $$= 3$$ miles/hour

$$Time (t)= \frac{distance}{speed} = \frac{Circumference}{speed} = \frac{2\pi}{3}$$ ---------- (we can approximate value of $$\pi$$ to $$3.1$$)

Time $$(t) = \frac{2*3.1}{3} = \frac{6.2}{3} = 2.0666$$

$$2.0666$$ comes between $$2.0$$ and $$2.5$$. Therefore $$2.0 < t < 2.5$$
