# GSM8K Problem 4

James decides to run 3 sprints 3 times a week.  He runs 60 meters each sprint.  How many total meters does he run a week?

Reason step by step, then give ONLY the final answer on the last line as \boxed{ANSWER}.

<!-- imported from openai/gsm8k (test) -->

James runs 3 sprints each time he goes out.
Each sprint is 60 meters long.
So, the distance he runs in one session is $3 \times 60 = 180$ meters.

He goes out 3 times a week.
So, the total distance he runs in a week is $180 \times 3 = 540$ meters.

Alternatively, calculate the total number of sprints per week first:
$3 \text{ sprints} \times 3 \text{ times} = 9 \text{ sprints per week}$.
Then multiply by the distance per sprint:
$9 \text{ sprints} \times 60 \text{ meters} = 540 \text{ meters}$.

\boxed{540}
