Answer:

Tara need to run 2 laps today.

Explanation:

Number of laps in 1 mile = 3 laps

number of miles she wants to run today =
(2)/(3)

We need to find the number of lap she need to run today;

Solution:

Now we know that;

in 1 mile = 3 laps

In
(2)/(3) miles = number of laps in
(2)/(3) miles

By using Unitary method we get;

number of laps in
(2)/(3) miles =
3*(2)/(3) = 2\ laps

Hence Tara need to run 2 laps today.
