  • The travers will complete 0.3 laps in 3/4 miles

    If one lap around the Indianapolis 500 racetrack is 2 and 1/2 miles long, then;

    • 1 lap = 2.5 miles long

    To get the number of laps completed for 0.75 miles, we will have:

    • x laps = 0.75 miles

    Divide both expressions

    1/x = 2.5/0.5

    x = 0.75/2.5

    x = 0.3

    Hence the travers will complete 0.3 laps in 3/4 miles
