Question

Regan's New Year's resolution is to exercise more. Today, she plans to run 1.5 miles on the track around her school's football field. If each lap around the track is 0.25 miles, how many laps should she run?

Answer 1

6 laps

Explanation:

According to the scenario, calculation of the data are as follows:

Each lap = 0.25 miles

Regan's plan to run= 1.5 miles

So, we can calculate number of laps by using following formula,

Number of laps = Total miles to run ÷ each lap miles

By putting the value, we get

Number of laps = 1.5 miles ÷ 0.25 miles

= 6 laps

So, she should run 6 laps.
