Question

Emma is training for a 12 mile race. If one lap around her neighborhood is 0.75 miles, how many laps must she run to duplicate the race?

Answer 1

Answer: 16 laps

Explanation:

The distance of the race is 12 miles

Each lap is 0.75,

Since she needs to see how many laps she needs to run she needs to know how many laps make 12 miles

Therefore 12/0.75 = 16

(0.75x 16= 12)

Answer 2

16 laps = 12 miles

Explanation:

12 / .75 = 16
