You need to add up all 3 mixed numbers to find the total laps.
2 + 1/4 + 1 + 1/2 + 3 + 5/8 =
(2 + 1 + 3) + (1/4 + 1/2 + 5/8) =
6 + (2/8 + 4/8 + 5/8) =
6 + (11/8) =
6 + (1 + 3/8) =
7 3/8 laps
7/6 in and 6/7 in is the answer
No
0.04 is actually smaller than 0.4 because the four is in the hundredths place which is smaller than the four in the tenths place of 0.4
