Question

Adam can run 10 laps in 5 minutes. How many laps can he run per minute?

Answer 1

adam can run 2 laps per minute

Answer 2

To figure out how many laps he can run per minute, you can just figure out how many laps he can run in one minute.

10 laps = 5 minutes
(now divide both sides by 5)
2 laps = 1 minute


(Dividing 5 by 5 gives you one.)

So, Adam can run 2 laps per minute
