Answer:

Chandler runs 2 laps.

Explanation:

To find out how many laps Chandler runs, we need to divide the total distance he runs by the distance of each lap.

Chandler runs 7 1/2 miles, and each lap is 3 3/4 miles. To perform the division, we need to convert both numbers to improper fractions.

7 1/2 can be written as 15/2, and 3 3/4 can be written as 15/4.

Now we can divide:

(15/2) / (15/4)

To divide fractions, we invert the second fraction and multiply:

(15/2) * (4/15)

The 15 in the numerator and denominator cancels out, leaving us with:

1 * 4/2 = 4/2 = 2
