Vanessa ran three laps in 10 minutes how long would it take her to run five laps at this pace would it take her 1 1/2 minutes 15 minutes and 2/ third minutes or 20 minutes which one is the correct answer
To find out how long it would take Vanessa to run five laps at the same pace, we need to determine the time it takes for her to complete one lap.
To do this, we divide the total time of 10 minutes by the number of laps completed, which is 3 laps.
10 minutes ÷ 3 laps = 3.33 minutes per lap (rounded to two decimal places).
Now, we can multiply the time per lap by the number of laps to find the total time for five laps:
3.33 minutes per lap × 5 laps = 16.65 minutes (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, the correct answer is approximately 16.65 minutes.
