Answer:

8 laps

Explanation:

this is pretty simple you just take the total time (56min) and then you take how long it takes William to run two laps around the lake (14min). then you try and figure out how many minutes it takes william to run one lap around the lake so you take 14 and divide it by 2 and that gives you 7.

therefore you take 56 and divide it by 7 and that gives you the answer of 8 laps william can run in a total of 56 min.
