Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that it will take them 0.00248548 minutes to do one loop.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, according to their speed, in 60 minutes, they drive 300 miles. In how many minutes will they drive 20 m = 0,0124274 miles?

The rule of three is:

60 min - 300 miles

x min - 0.0124274 miles

Applying cross multiplication:

$300x = 60 \times 0.0124274$

$x = \frac{60 \times 0.0124274}{300}$

$x = 0.00248548$

It will take them 0.00248548 minutes to do one loop.
