Answer:Each student will run 0.75 lap

Step-by-step explanation:

The relay race is 3 complete laps around the field and each relay team has 4 students. This means that the four students will run the 3 complete laps. If the total distance of the 3 laps is divided equally among the 4 students, then the amount or length of lap that each of them will run will be determined by dividing the total number of laps for the relay by the total number of runners. It becomes

3/4 = 0.75

Each student will run 0.75 lap
