Answer:

Explanation:

1.225km is equal to each laps

Explanation:

Since Kristy total distance traveled = 29.6km

And Kristy ran 24 laps and later walk 0.2km. it simply implies that

Total distance traveled = distance covered running + distance covered walking

Since we know that

Total distance traveled = 29.6km

distance covered running = 24 laps

distance covered walking = 0.2km

Distance covered running in km = total distance traveled - distance covered walking

Distance covered running in km = 29.6km - 0.2km = 29.4km.

To now find the distance for each lap.

Since we have:

Distance covered running in km = 29.4km.

Distance covered running in lap = 24 laps

i.e

24 laps = 29.4km

1 lap = x

Use cross-multiple

24 laps * x = 29.4km × 1 lap

x = 29.4km / 24

x = 1.225km

Therefore

1.225km is equal to each laps.
