Answer 1

Answers:

1.2 minutes

0.833 laps

25.2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the number of minutes per lap, we need to divide the number of minutes by the number of laps that Lin runs. So:

`\frac{6\text{ minutes}}{5\text{ laps}}=1.2\text{ minutes per lap}`

In the same way, to know the number of laps per minute, we need to divide the number of laps by the number of minutes that Lin runs. So:

`\frac{5\text{ laps}}{6\text{ minutes}}=0.833\text{ laps per minute}`

Finally, if Lin runs 21 laps at the same rate and we know that Lin takes 1.2 minutes per lap, we can calculate the time as:

21 laps x 1.2 minutes per lap = 25.2 minutes
