Answer:

I agree with 3 days

Explanation:

1) Ratio for laps to meters to days

1 lap: 400 meters -> 10 laps: 400 meters = 1 day

OK, 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters. Keep that in mind.

*12 kilometers is the equivalent to 12000 meters*

2) Ratio problem and cross multiply

10:400 = 1 day so x laps :12000 meters

HOW MANY TIMES DOES 400 GO INTO 12000? 30 times

30 is the amount of laps ran.

If you multiply 10:400 by 3 it will equal 30:12000.

3 is your answer
