Answer 1

Leo run 21 laps.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Mark and Leo are on the track team. The ratio of the laps that Mark ran to the number that leo ran was 5 to 7.

It is given that the ratio is 5 to 7.

This can be written as:

`(Mark)/(Leo) =(5)/(7)`

Let Mark ran 15 laps.

`(15)/(Leo) =(5)/(7)`

`Leo=(15* 7)/(5)`

`Leo=3* 7`

`Leo=21`

Hence, Leo run 21 laps.
