Can you compute the length of runway needed to take-off in a small, single-engined Cessna 150? Use a take-off speed of 70mph (Note: watch your units!)

it all depends on the wind speed, the barometric pressure at the surface, whether the aircraft is fully loaded or not, lots of factors go into calculating a takeoff roll for aircraft, note that they also have to takeoff in a head wind... If they take off in a tail wind that increases the chance of rolling off the runway, depending on the wind speed. if you were to give us more variables such as wind speed and direction, whether it is fully loaded or not, then we might be able to figure out (assume that the barometric pressure is 29.92 inHg (inches of mercury) the standard pressure at sea leve when it is 15 degrees C outside)

A runway is measured from threshold to threshold that's the begining and end of a runway Runway end Identifier lighting fixtures are placed on the edge and any over run isn't counted interior the dimensions.

you are leaving out many important factors to the equation; you need to talk to your ground instructor or pilot instructor to go over the performance tables in your POH and also the use of a E6B flight computer.
Hint: What is the temprature and pressure altitude of the airport you are departing? What is the surface of the runway (paved or sod)? What are the wind conditions? Flaps or no flaps? Loaded weight of the aircraft if not computed at gross weight? Your aircrafts condition and your talent?

are u a student pilot, if so get out your E6B and compute you need to know how to do that quickly. if not just look in the manual that should be in the plane of buy a personal copy. i make my students do that never just give away the answer i am a MEII of 12 years.

At La Paz, Bolivia it would probably need 10,000ft and wouldn't climb out of ground effect.

about 1000 feet give or take a few feet
