Example Question #664 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Amanda and Adriana each ran four laps around the track in twelve minutes. At the same rate of speed, how long would they need to run twenty-eight laps?
To solve this problem, one must first determine how long it takes to run one lap. Since it takes twelve minutes to run four laps, divide twelve by four.
It takes three minutes to run one lap.
To determine how long it will take to run twenty-eight laps, multiply the original rate of speed by the new distance.
It will take eighty-four minutes to run twenty-eight laps if each lap is run in three minutes.
