1 mile ---- 8 laps
3/8 mile ---- x laps
x is the number of laps to run 3/8 miles
[tex]x=\frac{\frac{3}{8}\cdot8}{1}=\frac{3}{1}=3[/tex]
3 laps to run 3/8 miles
In order to answer that with a number of lines, we can divide each mile into 8 parts each part represent a lap
the line in red represent the 8 laps in 1 mile
the line in blue represent the 3 laps 3/8 mile
