Question

Joe is running a 6-mile race on an indoor track. if the track os 1/4 of a mile long, how many laps will he have to run to complete the race

Answer 1

Given:

Total distance of race = 6 miles

Track length = $\dfrac{1}{4}$ miles

To find:

The number of laps to complete the race.

Solution:

We know that,

$Number of laps = \dfrac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Length of one lap}}$

$Number of laps = \dfrac{6}{\dfrac{1}{4}}$

$Number of laps =6\times \dfrac{4}{1}$

$Number of laps =24$

Therefore, the required number of laps is 24.
