Question

Ava ran 7 laps around a 0.3-mile track. She wants to run 3.6 miles.

How can she calculate how many more laps she needs to run?

A)Multiply 0.3 by 7, then add 3.6.
B)Multiply 0.3 by 7, then subtract from 3.6.
C)Divide 3.6 by 0.3, then subtract 7.
D)Multiply 0.3 by 7, then subtract 3.6.

Answer 1

C)Divide 3.6 by 0.3, then subtract 7

Explanation:

So you'd do

3.6 / 0.3 = 12

12 / 7 = 5

B would also nearly be right, but it would give the miles not the lap number
