Question

Vanessa exercised by walking around a pond. One day, she walked 3 3/8 mi. The distance around the pond is 3/8 mi. What equation can be used to find the number of times she walked around the pond? Let n represent the number of times she walked around the pond

if you have done it to can you please help me out

Answer 1

Let n be the number of times she walked around the pond

(3 3/8) / (3/8) = n

=> 9 = n

Vanessa walked around the pond 9 times

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

Let n represent the number of times she walked around the pond

The distance around the pond is 3/8 mi.

So, distance traveled in n rounds =
`(3)/(8)n`

She walked
`3(3)/(8)=(27)/(8)`

So,
`(3)/(8)n=(27)/(8)`

`n=(27)/(8) * (8)/(3)`

`n=9`

Hence the number of times she walked around the pond is 9
