Field Medical Training Battalion – East (FMTB-E) Annex E Practice Test

If distance is 500 meters and pace count is 65 paces per 100 meters, how many paces should you take?

250 paces 500 paces 325 paces 65 paces

Correct Answer:

325 paces

Explanation:

Distance-to-pace conversion uses a linear relationship: how far you go scales directly with paces per fixed distance. If you know how many paces it takes to cover 100 meters, you can multiply that by how many 100-meter blocks fit into the total distance. Here, 500 meters contains five blocks of 100 meters. With 65 paces required for each 100 meters, multiply by 5: 5 × 65 = 325 paces. Why the other options don’t fit: 250 paces would cover about 400 meters at this pace, not 500; 500 paces would cover about 769 meters; 65 paces is the count for 100 meters, not for 500 meters. So you should take 325 paces.
