Outdoor Measurement Challenge

Zoe, Harrison and Nathan are checking measurements for a cycling race course. Use the information on this sheet to solve each challenge. Show units and working where asked.

Measure the Course

The course is made of four straight sections: 850 m, 1.2 km, 675 m and 1.075 km. The race is 3 laps.

1.Convert each section length to metres, then calculate the total length of one lap. Give your answer in metres.
2.How far does each rider travel in the 3-lap race? Give your answer in kilometres.
3.Zoe has completed 2.65 km of one lap. How many metres does she have left to finish that lap?
4.Put these section lengths in order from shortest to longest: 850 m, 1.2 km, 675 m and 1.075 km. Use the number line to help.

Check the Race Equipment

Harrison checks a water container and a rectangular timing mat before the race.

5.The container holds 2.4 L of water. How many millilitres is this?
  • 24 mL
  • 240 mL
  • 2,400 mL
  • 24,000 mL
6.The timing mat is 2.4 m long and 0.8 m wide. Find its area in square metres.
7.A rectangular banner beside the course is 3.5 m long and 1.2 m wide. What is its perimeter?
8.Nathan drinks 350 mL of water during each lap. How many litres does he drink over 3 laps?

Race-Day Reasoning

A course marshal divides a 4 km practice route into 8 equal sections.

9.What distance does each equal section represent? Give your answer in metres.
10.True or false: If the course distance is tripled, its area would also be tripled. Explain your choice using an example of a square course whose side length is 2 m.
