Final answer:
To find the average laps per minute that John ran, divide the total laps (114) by the total minutes (2) to get 57 laps per minute. The closest answer from the given options is 58 laps (option d).
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the average number of laps John ran per minute, you would divide the total number of laps by the total number of minutes. John ran 114 laps in 2 minutes. So the average per minute is calculated as follows:
- Divide 114 laps by 2 minutes to find the average laps per minute.
- 114 laps ÷ 2 minutes = 57 laps per minute.
Therefore, the correct answer is 57 laps per minute, which is not listed in the multiple-choice options provided, hence there might be a typo with the options given. However, based on the calculations, the closest option would be d) 58 laps.
