Answer:

Explanation:

1. Calculate how many laps he completes in 7 minutes and 45 seconds, and then multiply that by the number of times 7 minutes and 45 seconds can fit into 1 hour.

2. 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes. So, we need to convert the time Garrett takes for 4 laps from minutes and seconds to just minutes:

3. 7 minutes and 45 seconds = 7 + (45 / 60) = 7.75 minutes

4. Now, we can calculate how many times this time can fit into 60 minutes (1 hour):

60 minutes / 7.75 minutes per 4 laps ≈ 7.74

5. Since we can't have a fraction of a lap, Garrett can complete 7 full laps in 1 hour.
