Question

Can someone help me with this

Answer 1

8 laps

Explanation:

Assuming in the equation given than n represents the number of laps run and t represents the time in minutes, when we plug in 16 in for t and simplify we get:

n=5/10*16

n=1/2*16 (Simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by 5)

n=16/2 (Multiply the fractions together by writing 16 as 16/1 and multiplying straight across)

n=8

Answer 2

8

Explanation:

This question is a bit of a guess. You have to assume that n is in laps and that t is in minutes.

n = (5/10) * t Reduce 5/10 to 1/2

n = 1/2 * 16

n = 8

So if the assumptions are correct, he should be able to do 8 laps.
