Answer 1

The total number of laps taken by Janice and Thomas in 1 hour is 15

Solution:

We have been given the following data, Janice and Thomas are roller blading around Sampson Pond it takes them 4 minutes to complete a lap.  

We need to write and solve an equation to how many laps they can complete in one hour if they continue roller at this pace.

We know that, 1 lap = 4mins

$\text {The total number of laps }=\frac{\text { total time spent roller blading }}{\text { time taken to complete each lap }}$

Plugging in values, we get

$\text { Total number of laps }=\frac{1 \text { hour }}{4 \text { mins }}$

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes

$=\frac{60 \mathrm{mins}}{4 \mathrm{mins}}=15$

Hence, the total number of laps taken by Janice and Thomas in 1 hour is 15
