Question

Emilio is on his school’s track team. During practice, he has to run 40 laps around the track. After 26 laps, Emilio stops for water. Is he more or less than halfway done with his run during his water break? Choose the best answer below.

Answer 1

Emilo is more than half way done with his run during his water break

Solution:

Given that,

During practice, he has to run 40 laps around the track

To find:  Is he more or less than halfway done with his run during his water break

From given,

Half way of his run = $40 \div 2 = 20$

After 26 laps, Emilio stops for water

$26 > 20$

Therefore, 26 is greater than 20

Thus, Emilo is more than half way done with his run during his water break
