Question

Julia swam 3/4 of a mile in the pool.if each lap is 1/16 of a mile,how many laps did she swim.

Answer 1

The answer is twelve.

3/4 x 4 = 12/16

12/16 divided by 1/16 is 12z

Answer 2

The answer is twelve because to Make the two fractions denominators equal you have to multiply the  numerator and denominator by 4 to get the denominators equal which gets you a fraction of 12/16 and if you divide that by 1/16 because that is how long each lap is then you get 16 which is the amount of laps they swam
