Answer:

72

Explanation:

It would take Charlie 72 minutes to run 9 laps. To solve the question find how long it takes to run 1 lap. Do this by dividing the number of minutes by the number of laps ran. For example, 16/2 equals 8, which means it took him 8 minutes to run one lap. To check you can divide the other values, like 32/4= 8 and 48/6 = 8. Then, multiply 8*9 it see how long it takes for him to run 9 laps. Therefore, the answer is 72 because 8*9=72.
