A cross-country runner is training by running laps around the track. The runner completes 2 laps every 3 minutes. Write an equation that relates the number of laps l to the number of minutes spent running, t.(1 point) Responses l=1.5t l equals 1.5 t t=1.5l t equals 1.5 l t=2l t equals 2 l l=2t
To find the equation that relates the number of laps (l) to the number of minutes spent running (t), we need to determine the constant ratio between laps and time.
The problem states that the runner completes 2 laps every 3 minutes. Since the ratio of laps to time is constant, we can express this ratio as a fraction: \( \frac{2 \text{ laps}}{3 \text{ minutes}} \).
Now we can set up the equation:
\( l = \frac{2}{3} t \)
Therefore, the correct equation that relates the number of laps (l) to the number of minutes spent running (t) is \( l = \frac{2}{3} t \).
