Question

Each lap around a park is 1 1⁄5 miles. Kellyn plans to jog at least 7 1⁄2 miles at the park without doing partial laps. How many laps must Kellyn jog to meet her goal?

Answer 1

She must jog 7 laps in order to meet her goal.

Explanation:

A more accurate answer would be that she needs to run 6 1/4 laps to meet her goal. However, because the problem states that she will not be running partial laps, then the number of laps she runs must be a whole number, which in this case works out to be 7 laps.
