Question

kristy ran 24 laps in chairity run and then walked 0.2 kilometer to the presentation table. The total distance Kristy traveled was 29.6 kilometers. What was the distance of each lap? Explain how you solved the problem.​

Answer 1

total distance of 24 laps

29.6km - 0.2km

=29.4km

total distance of each lap

24 laps = 29.4km

1 lap = ?

Use cross-multiple

24 laps × X = 29.4km × 1 lap

X = 29.4km / 24

X = 1.225km

Answer

1.225km

Answer 2

1.225km is equal to each laps

Explanation:

Since Kristy total distance traveled = 29.6km

And Kristy ran 24 laps and later walk 0.2km. it simply implies that

Total distance traveled = distance covered running + distance covered walking

Since we know that

Total distance traveled = 29.6km

distance covered running = 24 laps

distance covered walking = 0.2km

Distance covered running in km = total distance traveled - distance covered walking

Distance covered running in km = 29.6km - 0.2km = 29.4km.

To now find the distance for each lap.

Since we have:

Distance covered running in km = 29.4km.

Distance covered running in lap = 24 laps

i.e

24 laps = 29.4km

1 lap = x

Use cross-multiple

24 laps * x = 29.4km × 1 lap

x = 29.4km / 24

x = 1.225km

Therefore

1.225km is equal to each laps.
