Solution
Given, length of rectangular field `(l)` = 250 m
And width of rectangular field `(b)` = 150 m
Perimeter of the field = 2(l + b)
= 2(250 + 150) m
= 2 × 400 m
= 800 m
∵ Distance covered in one round = Perimeter = 800 m
∴ Distance covered in three rounds = 3 × 800 = 2400 m
Now, number of rounds to cover 4 km,
i.e. 4000 m ...[∵ 1 km = 1000 m]
= `4000/800`
= 5
Hence, she should run 5 times around the field around the field to cover the distance of 4 km.
