Question

Sean has a toy race car track in his room. It takes

3/4
of a minute for a race car to travel
4 1/2
times around the track. At this rate, how long does it take the race car to go around the track 1 time?

Answer 1

1/6

Explanation:

3/4 divided by 4 1/2 = 1/6

Answer 2

It would take the race car 10 seconds to go around the track one time.

Explanation:

3/4 minutes = 45 seconds

This means 4 1/2 laps of the track is 45 seconds

4 1/2 = 45

Divide both sides by 4 1/2 to find the length of time to complete 1 lap

1 time around the track = 10 seconds
