Question

Lin is running on a track. Lin runs 5 laps around a track in 6 minutes. How many laps per minute is that? (Round to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

ANSWER

1.2 LAPS per min

Answer 2

Given:

Total number of laps= 5 laps

The total time is taken to complete 5 laps = 6 minutes

To Find:

We have to find the number of laps covered per minute.

Solution:

The number of laps per minute can be obtained by dividing the total number of laps covered on the track by the total time taken to complete the same.

⇔     Number of laps covered per minute = $\frac{Total\, number\, of\, laps\, covered}{Total\, time\, taken}$

                                                       = $\frac{5}{6}$

                                                       = 0·83 laps

∴ The number of laps covered per minute is 0·83 laps
