Question

Todd runs 3.5 miles around the

school track. Each lap is 0.25 mile.
What equation can be used to find
how many laps around the track
Todd runs?

Answer 1

Hi!

We can use x to represent the number of miles that Todd runs.

He runs a total of 3.5 miles, and each lap is 0.25 miles.

Therefore:

3.5 = 0.25x

The question simply asks for an equation, so there is no need to calculate how many laps he takes.
