Paloma ran 33
4
miles around the school track. If each lap is 1
2
mile, how many laps did she run?
Explain how to find the answer.
To find the answer, we need to divide the total distance ran (33.4 miles) by the distance per lap (1/2 mile).
33.4 miles ÷ 1/2 mile = 33.4 × 2/1 = 33.4 × 2 = 66.8
Therefore, Paloma ran 66.8 laps around the track.
