distance = 1.6 ( circumfrence ) = 1.6(2*pi*25) = $$80\pi$$
time = $$80\pi$$ /5 = $$16\pi$$

The circumference of the track is 50π, so 1.6 laps is 1.6 x 50π = 80π.

We’ll use the formula distance/rate = time to calculate the time it will take him to run 1.6 laps. Thus, it will take him 80π/5 = 16π seconds.
