The track team’s record for the greatest number of laps in 30 minutes is 48 laps. If the record holder ran at a constant ratio of minutes to laps, how many laps were completed in 5 minutes?

Respuesta :

Answer:  8 laps

===========================================

Work Shown:

(30 minutes)/(48 laps) = (5 minutes)/(x laps)

30/48 = 5/x

30*x = 48*5

30x = 240

x = 240/30

x = 8

8 laps were completed in 5 minutes
