Answer

Final Answer: The length of the jogging track is \(\boxed{352}\) yards.

Steps

Step 1 ：Given that the length of the jogging track is 0.2 miles.

Step 2 ：We know that 1 mile is equal to 1760 yards.

Step 3 ：Therefore, we can multiply the length of the jogging track in miles by this conversion factor to get the length in yards.

Step 4 ：\(miles = 0.2\)

Step 5 ：\(yards\_per\_mile = 1760\)

Step 6 ：\(yards = miles \times yards\_per\_mile = 0.2 \times 1760 = 352.0\)

Step 7 ：Final Answer: The length of the jogging track is \(\boxed{352}\) yards.
