Question

Ava takes 5/6 minutes to run 1 lap around the track. If Ava runs around the track at the same pace for 1/4 hour, how many laps will Ava run

Answer 1

18 laps

Explanation:

5/6 of one minute is 50 seconds.

There are 3600 seconds in one hour, which means there are 900 seconds in 1/4 of an hour. (3600*1/4)

This would leave us with 900 seconds divided by 50 seconds per lap.

900/50=18
