One lap around a standard high-school running track is exactly 0.25 miles. Define a function named laps_to_miles that takes a number of laps as a parameter, and returns the number of miles. Then, write a main program that takes a number of laps as an input, calls function laps_to_miles() to calculate the number of miles, and outputs the number of miles. Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows: print(f'{your_value:.2f}') Ex: If the input is: 7.6 the output is: 1.90 Ex: If the input is: 2.2 the output is: 0.55

There are different answers for this question from Zybooks.  I am unable to figure out the correct code.

here's the question :

Track laps to miles

 

One lap around a standard high-school running track is exactly 0.25 miles. Define a function named laps_to_miles that takes a number of laps as a parameter, and returns the number of miles. Then, write a main program that takes a number of laps as an input, calls function laps_to_miles() to calculate the number of miles, and outputs the number of miles.

Output each floating-point value with two digits after the decimal point, which can be achieved as follows:
print(f'{your_value:.2f}')

Ex: If the input is:

7.6

the output is:

1.90

Ex: If the input is:

2.2

the output is:

0.55

The program must define and call the following function:
def laps_to_miles(user_laps)

 

My code :

 

def laps_to_miles(user_laps):
    total_miles = 0.25*user_laps
    return total_miles
user_laps = float

def main(): 
    miles = laps_to_miles(user_laps)
    print("\nTotal Distance Covered(in Miles) = " , "%0.2f" % miles);

if __name__ == '__main__':
 main()
    # Type your code here. Your code must call the function.
