Jade ran 6 times around her neighborhood to complete a total of 1 mile. How many times will she need to run to complete 5/6 of a mile?
6 laps = 1 mile
1 lap = 1/6 mile
so, 5 laps
Since 6 laps around her neighborhood equals 1 mile, you can show one lap around the block as 1/6 of a mile. In order to complete 5/6 of a mile she will need to run 5 times around the neighborhood since 1/6 + 1/6 +1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 5/6.
1 mile = 6 times
5/6 mile = (5/6)6 time
5/6 mile = 5 times
To find out how many times Jade needs to run to complete 5/6 of a mile, we can set up a proportion using the distance she ran and the number of times she ran.
Let's say x represents the number of times Jade needs to run to complete 5/6 of a mile.
We can set up the proportion:
6 times / 1 mile = x times / 5/6 of a mile
To solve the proportion, we need to cross multiply:
6 * (5/6) = 1 * x
Cancel out the common factors:
5 = x
Therefore, Jade needs to run 5 times to complete 5/6 of a mile.
