Question

Mason and Laney ran laps to train for the long distance running team. The ratio of the number of laps mason ran to the number of laps laney ran was 2 to 4. If mason ran 4 miles, how far did Laney run? Draw a tape diagram to demonstrate how you found the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Laney ran 8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran is 2 to 4

Since Mason ran 4 miles, we have:

2/4 = 4/x

2x = 4 * 4

x = 8

Laney ran 8 miles
