You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The 2.5 mile track has 3,200,000 bricks.
Suppose the track was 5 miles long.
Then it would have 6,400,000 bricks.
One tenth of this distance would be 1%2F2 mile
and would have 640,000 bricks.
Twice this distance would be 1 mile and would
have 1,280,000 bricks
