Inessa ran 3 laps in 10 minutes. How long would it take her to run 5 laps at this pace?(1 point) Responses
1 1/2 minutes
15 minutes
16 2/3 minutes
20 minutes
We can find out how long it takes Inessa to run 1 lap by dividing the time she took to run 3 laps by the number of laps: 10 minutes ÷ 3 laps = 3 1/3 minutes per lap.
Then we can find how long it takes her to run 5 laps by multiplying the time per lap by the number of laps: (3 1/3 minutes/lap) × 5 laps = 16 2/3 minutes.
So the answer is 16 2/3 minutes.
