In the folktale of Tom Thumb, Tom had a pair of 7-league boots. When he ran wearing the boots, his stride was 7 leagues long. (A stride is the distance from where one foot hits the ground to where the same foot hits the ground again. A league is equal to 3 miles.) How many
miles could Tom run in 50 strides?

important!
