Ben, Ray, and Lee ran laps around the school track. Ben ran 2 times as many laps as Ray. Lee ran 3 laps, which is one-half of the number of laps that Ray ran. How many laps did Ben run?
just write the words in symbols.
Ben ran 2 times as many laps as Ray.
B = 2R
Lee ran 3 laps
L = 3
which is one-half of the number of laps that Ray ran.
3 = R/2
That leaves us with the equations
B = 2R
L = 3
L = R/2, so R = 2L
B = 2R = 2(2L) = 2(2*3) = 12
is th e answer 12
Yes the answer is 12.
i need help help me as soon as you can ineed to take this test
To find out how many laps Ben ran, we need to first determine the number of laps Ray ran. We know that Lee ran 3 laps, which is half the number of laps that Ray ran. So, Ray ran twice as many laps as Lee, which means Ray ran 3 laps * 2 = 6 laps.
Now, we are given the information that Ben ran 2 times as many laps as Ray. Since Ray ran 6 laps, Ben must have run 2 * 6 = 12 laps.
Therefore, Ben ran 12 laps.
