Question

Kyle and Taylor ran laps after school to train for the baseball team. The ratio of the number of laps Kyle ran to the number of laps Taylor ran was 2 to 3. If Kyle ran 6 laps, how many laps did Taylor run?

Answer 1

Answer:

9 laps.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the number of laps Taylor runs.

-Given that the ratio of Kyle to Taylor laps is 2:3, we express the actual laps in meters to solve for x as follows:

$\frac{Kyle}{Taylor}=\frac{2}{3}\\\\\therefore \frac{2}{3}=\frac{6}{x}\\\\2x=18\\\\x=9$

Hence, Taylor runs 9 laps.
