Question

A costumer at a raceway can drive 54 laps around the track for 12$. At this rate, how many laps can the customer rive for 8$?

Answer 1

36 laps can the customer drive for $8

Explanation:

Unit rate defined as rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 4 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

As per the given statement; A costumer at a raceway can drive 54 laps around the track for 12$.

⇒ for $12 a costumer drive 54 laps around the track.

unit rate per dollar =
`(\54)/(12) = 4.5 laps`

To find how many laps can costumer drive for $ 8

Number of laps =
`unit rate * \$ 8`

Number of laps for $8 =
`4.5 * 8 = 36` laps

therefore, 36 laps can the customer drive for $8

Answer 2

36 laps can the customer rive for $8 .

Explanation:

As given

A costumer at a raceway can drive 54 laps around the track for $12.

I.e

54 laps cost = $12

Now calculate laps for $1.

`\$1 = (54)/(12)\ laps`

`\$1 = 4.5\ laps`

The number of laps customer rive $8 = 4.5 × 8

= 36 laps

Therefore 36 laps can the customer rive for $8 .
