Alonzo runs each lap in 6 minutes. He will run at most 72 minutes today. What are the possible numbers of laps he will run today?
To find the possible numbers of laps Alonzo can run today, we need to divide the total time he can run (72 minutes) by the time it takes for him to run one lap (6 minutes).
Dividing 72 by 6: 72 ÷ 6 = 12
Therefore, Alonzo can run a maximum of 12 laps today.
To find the minimum number of laps, we need to consider the case where Alonzo runs exactly 72 minutes without taking any breaks. In this case, he would complete 72 ÷ 6 = 12 laps.
Therefore, the possible numbers of laps Alonzo can run today are 0 to 12 laps inclusive.
