Vincent ran 24 laps on monday. this is 66 2/3% of the maximum number of laps he has to run in one day. what is the maximum umber of laps vincent has run in one day?

Answer 1

66 2/3% of what is 24...
66.67%x = 24
0.6667x = 24
x = 24 / 0.6667
x = 35.9 rounds to 36 laps

Answer 2

Answer: There are 36 maximum number of laps he has to run in one day.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of laps on Monday = 24

Percentage of the maximum number of laps he has to run in one day =
`66(2)/(3)\%=(200)/(3)\%`

Let the maximum number of laps be 'x'.

According to question,

`(200)/(3* 100)* x=24\\\\(2)/(3)* x=24\\\\x=24* (3)/(2)\\\\x=36`

Hence, there are 36 maximum number of laps he has to run in one day.
