Question

By the time shana had completed 3/8 of her first lap in a race, she had also completed 1/32 of the entire race. How many laps were there in the race.

Answer 1

3/8 of a lap is 1/32 of the entire race.
x - the number of laps in the race

$\frac{3}{8}=\frac{1}{32}x \\ \frac{3}{8} \times 32=x \\ 3 \times 4=x \\ x=12$

There were 12 laps in the race.
