How many did she win each year?

A. 2,009 races
B. 280 races
C. 72 races
D. 41 races

Answer 1

D. 41 races

Explanation:

We can use the equation:

Number of races per year = Total number of races / Number of years

In this case, the total number of races is 287 and the number of years is 7.

Plugging in the values:

Number of races per year = 287 / 7

Number of races per year = 41

So, Laurie won 41 races each year. The answer is D) 41 races
