Answer 1

Explanation:

A quarter mile is 1/4 a mile is 4/4 so if Jim runs 4 quarter miles he will run a mile so 4 is your answer. Since we know that a quarter mile is 1/4 and a mile is 4/4 we multiply 4*5 and get 20.

There are 4 quarter mile laps in 1 mile, so you multiply the miles covered by 4 to find out the quarter mile laps.

a. 1x4=4

b. 5x4=20
