Question

1. The track coach made the boys run 2.4 miles. If each lap around the track is 0.6 miles, how many laps did the boys run?​

Answer 1

Answer: 4 laps

Explanation:

To find this we need to divide the total length needed to run by the length of a single lap.

`(2.4)/(0.6) = 4`

If you prefer, you can also divide by fractions by turning 2.4 into 12/5 and .6 into 3/5. You could then divide 12 by 3 to get 4 or keep the fractions:

`(12)/(5) * (5)/(3) = (60)/(15) = 4`

Hope this helped you. If you need anything explained let me know.
