There are 5,280 feet in a mile so divided by three gets how many yards: 1760. And 1,716 divided by 4 is 440. So Four (4) laps.

Answer:

Hence, 4 laps would be need to  be completed to run a mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that there are 1760 yards in one mile.

i.e. 1 mile=1760 yards.

As it is given that a typical lap around a track in the United States has a length of 440 yards.

i.e. we are given a number of yards one covers in 1 lap.

That means 440 yards=1 lap

so 1 yard=1/440 lap

⇒  1760 yard=1760/440 lap

⇒   1760 yard=4 lap.

Hence, 4 laps would be need to  be completed to run a mile.
