Drove radio controlled cars around a track. She drove 56 laps in 8 minutes

To find the number of laps completed per minute for each person, we need to divide the number of laps by the time in minutes.

For Latoya, the number of laps completed is 9 and the time taken is 3 minutes. So, the number of laps completed per minute for Latoya is 9/3 = 3 laps per minute.

For Mary, the number of laps completed is 30 and the time taken is 6 minutes. So, the number of laps completed per minute for Mary is 30/6 = 5 laps per minute.

For Melissa, the number of laps completed is 20 and the time taken is 5 minutes. So, the number of laps completed per minute for Melissa is 20/5 = 4 laps per minute.

Now, let's determine who drove the fastest. The person who drove the fastest is the one with the highest number of laps completed per minute.

In this case, Mary drove the fastest with 5 laps per minute, followed by Melissa with 4 laps per minute, and Latoya with 3 laps per minute.

9/3-Latoya

30/6-Mary

20/5-Melissa
