Javia ran 8 laps to run a total of amile on monday how many laps will she need to run Tuesday to run 3/8 of a mile
To find out how many laps Javia needs to run on Tuesday to cover 3/8 of a mile, we can set up a proportion using the information given.
On Monday, Javia ran 8 laps to cover 1 mile. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion:
8 laps / 1 mile = x laps / (3/8) mile
To find the value of x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
8 laps * (3/8) mile = 1 mile * x laps
Simplifying:
24 laps / 8 = x laps
3 laps = x laps
Therefore, Javia needs to run 3 laps on Tuesday to cover 3/8 of a mile.
