Question

Pierre runs the same distance around a track each day, 4 days a week. He runs a total of 12 miles each week. It takes 8 laps of the track to equal a mile. Which equation could you use to find how many laps Pierre runs each day?

Answer 1

Answer: He runs 24 laps each day.

Explanation:

8(laps) x 4(days) = 96 laps

96 laps would not equal four days

so

96 divided by 4

is 24

24+24+24+24 equal

3+3+3+3 = 12 miles
