Jennifer Arias · Answer 1

If Donna took 10 minutes to run 6 laps, it took her 600 seconds to run 6 laps

so that means each lap took 100 seconds to complete. 100*5=500 seconds

so it took her 8 minutes 20 seconds

To solve this problem we can make a proportion.

6 5

- - = - - -

10 x

to solve this proportion we can cross multiply and divide.

5 times 10 is 50. divided by 6 is 8.3

it will take her 8.3 minutes to run 5 laps
