To wrap up, let’s pick some fun facts out of the summary tables and solve the last exercise.
These data (my running history) represent 6 years, 2 months and 21 days. And I remember how many running shoes I went through–7.
FUN FACTS
- Average distance: 11.38 km
- Longest distance: 38.32 km
- Highest climb: 982 m
- Total climb: 57,278 m
- Total number of km run: 5,224 km
- Total runs: 459
- Number of running shoes gone through: 7 pairs
The story of Forrest Gump is well known–the man, who for no particular reason decided to go for a "little run." His epic run duration was 3 years, 2 months and 14 days (1169 days). In the picture you can see Forrest’s route of 24,700 km.
FORREST RUN FACTS
- Average distance: 21.13 km
- Total number of km run: 24,700 km
- Total runs: 1169
- Number of running shoes gone through: ...
Assuming Forest and I go through running shoes at the same rate, figure out how many pairs of shoes Forrest needed for his run.
Forrest's route
Use FUN FACTS data to answer some fun questions.
Calculate the instructor's average shoes per lifetime. Use number of 'Total number of km run' from FUN FACTS and divide by the number of pairs of shoes gone through.
Calculate an estimated number of shoes gone through for Forrest Gump's route. Use 'Total number of km run' from FORREST RUN FACTS, then divide (using floor division) by the result from the previous step.
