Answer: it will take her 56.67 seconds or 0.945 minutes to race 2 laps

Explanation:

It takes Ella 1 minute and 25 seconds to complete the cheep beach course.

We can express this time in seconds or minutes. Expressing it in seconds,

1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore,

1 minute and 25 seconds = 60 +25 = 85 seconds

If the course is 3 laps long, that means she completed 3 laps in 85 seconds. The time it will take her to race 2 laps would be

(2 × 85)/3

= 56.67 seconds

Converting to minutes, it will be

56.7/60 = 0.945 minutes
