Question

Coach Matta ran 3 laps in 180 seconds. Which of the following is an equivalent rate of running?

2 laps in 130 seconds

5 laps in 215 seconds

1 lap in 60 seconds

6 laps in 130 seconds

Answer 1

1 lap in 60 seconds

Explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) Think of it as ratios or fractions

Ratio: 3:180

2) Next, we have to find something equivalent. Since 3 can only be multiplied by one or itself, we have to dived 3 by 3.

3) 3 divided by 3 is 1

2) 180 divided by 3 is 60

4) This equals to 1:60

Therefore, the answer is 1 lap in 60 seconds

Hope this helps!
