Question

12 laps in 8 minutes or 16 laps in 10 minutes? Which is the greater.

Answer 1

12 Laps in 8 minutes

Essentially these values are all fractions

8/12 and 10/16

If we simplify the values we get

2/3 and 5/8

In order to find which is greater we need to find the common denominator

3 and 8 have a common multiple of 24, so lets use that

16/24 and 15/24

Therefore making 2/3 larger.

Or 12 laps and 8 minutes

Answer 2

16 laps in 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:if you multiply 12 and 8 you'll get 96 where when you multiply 16 and 10 you get 160
