By the time shana had completed 3/8 of her first lap in a race, she had also completed 1/32 of the entire race. How many laps were there in the race.

3/8 of a lap is 1/32 of the entire race.
x - the number of laps in the race


(3)/(8)=(1)/(32)x \\ (3)/(8) * 32=x \\ 3 * 4=x \\ x=12

There were 12 laps in the race.
