if r = 1500/π then Circumference is 2πr = 3000....one rotation..possible
if r = 750/π then Circumference is 2πr = 1500....2 rotations..possible
if r = 250/π then Circumference is 2πr = 500....6 rotations..possible

Distance run =
circumference 2πr (of track) *
# of revolutions (# of full laps run)
And D/circumference = # of laps
She ran 3,000 m from start point to start point, in a circle. A possible radius of the track will make the distance she ran evenly divisible by the circumference of the track; even division yields full laps (revolutions).
I. r = 1,500/π meters
πr = 1,500 m
2πr = 3,000 m
3,000m/3,000m = 1 circumference =
One lap around the track. YES
II. r = 750/π meters
πr = 750 m
2πr = 1,500 m
3,000m/1,500 m = 2 "circumferences" =
Two laps around the track. YES
III. 250/π meters
πr = 250 m
2πr = 500 m
3,000m/500 m = 6 "circumferences" =
Six laps around the track. YES
Answer E
Shortcut: any number that is a factor of 3000, as long as it is divided by π, is a possible radius. One exception: 3,000 itself.*
A factor divides evenly into a multiple; the multiple, 3000, divided by any of its factors except itself, will yield full laps. That is, the radius will form a circumference of _____ m = 2πr that divides evenly into 3,000 m
1,500, 750, and 250 are factors of 3,000. All three options, divided by π, are possible radii.
Answer E
*3,000/π m will not work because circumference is 2πr, so she would have run only one-half of a lap.
If r = 3,000/π meters, then
πr = 3,000 m and
2πr = 6,000 m
3,000m/6,000m = 1/2 circumference = 1/2 lap
