Final answer:

Joey ran 8 laps around the track, calculated by dividing the total distance of 2 miles by the distance of one lap, which is a quarter of a mile.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the number of laps Joey ran, we need to divide the total distance he ran by the distance of one lap. Joey ran a total of 2 miles. Since each lap of the track is a quarter of a mile (0.25 mile), to find out how many laps he completed, we perform the following calculation:

  1. Convert miles to laps by dividing the distance ran by the lap distance.
  2. 2 miles ÷ 0.25 mile/lap = 8 laps.


p>Therefore, Joey ran 8 laps around the track.
