It takes my’khiyah 40 seconds to run 1/3 of a lap. How many laps can she run in 5 minutes

1 answer:

7 0

Answer:
number of laps = 5/2 = 2.5 laps

Explanation:
First, we will need to convert the minutes to seconds.
5 minutes = 5 * 60 = 300 seconds

Now, we know that she can run 1/3 of a lap in 40 seconds. To know the number of laps that she can run in 300 seconds, all we have to do is cross multiplication as follows:
40 seconds .................> 1/3 laps
300 seconds ................> ?? laps
number of laps = (300 * 1/3) / 40
number of laps = (100) / 40
number of laps = 5/2 = 2.5 laps

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

$\tt{30.16 = 17.56 + 5x}$

Swap the sides of the equation :

⤑ $\tt{17.56 + 5x = 30.16}$

We want to remove the 17.56 first.

Since the original equation is 17.56 , we are going to use the opposite operation and subtract 17.56 from both sides :

⤑ $\tt{5x + 17.56 - 17.56 = 30.16 - 17.56}$

Simplify. 17.56 - 17.56 = 0 on the left. 30.16 - 17.36 = 12.6 on the right.

⤑ $\tt{5x = 12.6}$

Then, we need to think about how to remove the coefficient 5. Since the opposite of multiplication is division , I am going to divide both sides by 5.

⤑ $\tt{ \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{12.6}{5}}$
