Question

This question has two parts. first, answer part a. then, answer part b. part a suppose reggie runs 4 laps around the track in the same time that kyle runs 3.5 laps. write a proportion that could be used to find the number of laps kyle runs when reggie has run 10 laps. use x to represent the number of laps kyle runs.

Answer 1

To find the number of laps Kyle runs when Reggie has run 10 laps, set up a proportion using their lap ratios and solve.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of laps Kyle runs when Reggie has run 10 laps, we can set up a proportion using their lap ratios. Since Reggie runs 4 laps in the same time that Kyle runs 3.5 laps, the proportion would be:

4/3.5 = 10/x

To solve for x, we can cross multiply and then divide:

4x = 35

x = 35/4

x = 8.75

Therefore, when Reggie has run 10 laps, Kyle would have run approximately 8.75 laps.
