Congratulations on your new job as a high school football coach! Each player on the team is required to run 1.5 miles in less than 15 minutes. One lap around the field is 300 yards. How many laps must a player run to meet the requirement?

8.8 laps()

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given the field's total perimeter as 300 yards.

#First we convert the yards into miles(1 yd=0.000568182)

Given that a player must run for 1.5 miles and that the field's perimeter is 0.170455, we divide this distance by the total distance to be run to obtain the number of laps:

Hence, the player must run 8.8 laps

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
