One lap around the Indianapolis 500 racetrack is 2 and 1/2 miles long. Speedy Travers has driven 3/4 of a mile so far in the race. How many laps has he completed?

Sagot :

The travers will complete 0.3 laps in 3/4 miles

If one lap around the Indianapolis 500 racetrack is 2 and 1/2 miles long, then;

  • 1 lap = 2.5 miles long

To get the number of laps completed for 0.75 miles, we will have:

  • x laps = 0.75 miles

Divide both expressions

1/x = 2.5/0.5

x = 0.75/2.5

x = 0.3

Hence the travers will complete 0.3 laps in 3/4 miles
