Question

Joe is running a 6-mile race on an indoor track. if the track os 1/4 of a mile long, how many laps will he have to run to complete the race

Answer 1

Given:

Total distance of race = 6 miles

Track length =
`(1)/(4)` miles

To find:

The number of laps to complete the race.

Solution:

We know that,

`Number of laps = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Length of one lap}}`

`Number of laps = (6)/((1)/(4))`

`Number of laps =6* (4)/(1)`

`Number of laps =24`

Therefore, the required number of laps is 24.
