Step-by-step explanation:
Make proportions and solve
When Julie finished 1 lap, how many laps had Joe run?
- 3/9 = 1/x ⇒ x = 9/3 = 3 laps
When Julie finished 9 laps, how many laps had Joe run?
- 3/9 = 9/x ⇒ x = 9*9/3 = 27 laps
When the total number of laps that Julie and Joe have completed is 16, how many of those laps were Joe’s, and how many were Julie’s?
- 3x + 9x = 16
- 12x = 16
- x = 16/12
- x = 4/3
Julie's laps:
- 3*4/3 = 4 laps
Joe's laps:
- 16 - 4 = 12 laps
