Answer 1

Explanation:

8.8 laps because of the concepts of molecular osmosis used to provide a detailed explanation to kermit. Thereby omitting the theory of dark matter into the universe and thus replacing it with the new compulsive theory of 50 % growth of human anatomical secretory sections.

Answer 2

D) 8.8 laps.

Explanation:

We have been given that each player on the football team is required to run 1.5 miles in less than 15 minutes. One lap around the field is 300 yards.

We know that 1 mile equals 1760 yards.

First of all, we will convert 1.5 miles into yards by multiplying 1.5 by 1760.

`\text{1.5 miles}=\text{1.5 miles}* \frac{\text{1760 yards}}{\text{Mile}}`

`\text{1.5 miles}=1.5* \text{1760 yards}`

`\text{1.5 miles}=2640\text{ yards}`

We have been given that one lap around the field is 300 yards. To find the number of laps a player must run, we will divide 2640 by 300.

`\text{Number of laps a player must run}=\frac{2640\text{ yards}}{300\text{ yards}}`

`\text{Number of laps a player must run}=8.8`

Therefore, a player must run 8.8 laps to meet the requirement.
