36 laps can the customer drive for $8

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate defined as  rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 4 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

As per the given statement; A costumer at a raceway can drive 54 laps around the track for 12$.

unit rate per dollar = $\frac{\54}{12} = 4.5 laps$

To find how many laps can costumer drive for $ 8  

Number of laps = $unit rate \times \ 8$

Number of laps for $8 = $4.5 \times 8 = 36$ laps

therefore, 36 laps can the customer drive for $8

Answer 2

Answer:

36 laps can the customer rive for $8 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A costumer at a raceway can drive 54 laps around the track for $12.

I.e

54 laps cost = $12

Now calculate laps for $1.

$\ 1 = \frac{54}{12}\ laps$

$\ 1 = 4.5\ laps$

The number of laps customer rive $8 = 4.5 × 8

                                                              = 36 laps

Therefore 36 laps can the customer rive for $8 .
