Question

Mike walked a distance of 12 laps. Juan walked 2/3 of the distance Mike walked. How many laps did Juan walk?

Answer 1

8 laps

Explanation:

We know that Mike walked 12 laps.

We also know that Juan walked 2/3 of 12 laps, meaning Juan walked less laps than Mike, as 2/3 is less than 1.

To solve, we can multiply 2/3 by 12 to find out how many laps Juan walked:

`12((2)/(3))`

=8

So, Juan walked 8 laps.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

8 laps.

Explanation:

12 x (2/3) = 8. Juan walked 8 laps.
