Jade ran 6 times around her neighborhood to complete a total of 1 mile. How many times will she need to run to complete 5/6 of a mile?

Since it took 6 laps to run 1 mile the fraction for the whole mile has to be 6/6 so that means 5 laps is equivalent to 5/6

Okay, so if 6 laps around a neighborhood is 1 mile, then 5 laps around a neighborhood is 5/6 of a mile.
So the answer is Jade will need to run 5 times around her neighborhood.
