Question

Tara ran 3 laps around her neighbor for a total of 1 mile yesterday. Today she wants to run 2 over 3 of a mile. How many laps she will need to run around her neighbor

Answer 1

Tara need to run 2 laps today.

Explanation:

Number of laps in 1 mile = 3 laps

number of miles she wants to run today =
`(2)/(3)`

We need to find the number of lap she need to run today;

Solution:

Now we know that;

in 1 mile = 3 laps

In
`(2)/(3)` miles = number of laps in
`(2)/(3)` miles

By using Unitary method we get;

number of laps in
`(2)/(3)` miles =
`3*(2)/(3) = 2\ laps`

Hence Tara need to run 2 laps today.
