To find out how much money Dawn will raise for her school, we need to calculate the total number of laps Dawn will jog and multiply it by the amount of money she will receive for each lap.
First, we need to find out how many laps Dawn jogs in total. Since it takes 4 laps to jog 1 mile, we can divide the total distance Dawn jogs (12 miles) by the number of laps per mile (4 laps).
12 miles ÷ 4 laps/mile = 3 laps
So, Dawn will jog a total of 3 laps.
Next, we multiply the number of laps by the amount of money she will receive for each lap. In this case, she will receive $3 per lap.
3 laps × $3/lap = $9
Therefore, Dawn will raise $9 for her school.
