2. PACING.

A student paces a 50-m length five times with the following results:
57.00, 56.75, 56.50, 58.00, and 56.25 paces. Determine how many paces he
must step off in order to establish a distance of 450 meters on level ground.
Given:
57.00, 56.75, 56.50, 58.00, and 56.25 paces for 50-m length
Required:
No. of paces to establish 450 m
Illustration:

50 m

450 m

Solution:
∑(𝑃𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑀𝑎𝑑𝑒)
𝑀𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑁𝑜. 𝑜𝑓 𝑃𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 = 𝑁𝑜.𝑜𝑓 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑠
57.00+56.75+56.50+58.00+56.25
= 5
= 56.90 𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠
50 𝑚
𝑃𝑎𝑐𝑒 𝐹𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 = 56.90 𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠
𝑚
= 0.8787
𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒

450 𝑚
𝑁𝑜. 𝑜𝑓 𝑃𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑠 = 𝑚
0.8787 𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒
