Question

Mason and Laney run laps. The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number Laney ran was 2:3.

Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that Mason ran 620 meters.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Considering the ratio, the rule of three is given as follows:

2 laps for Mason - 3 laps for Laney.

n meters for Mason - 930 meters for Mason.

Applying cross multiplication:

3n = 930 x 2

n = 930 x 2/3

n = 620

Mason ran 620 meters.
