Question

last week, madelyn ran 29 laps around the lake. sophia ran 1/3 as many laps around the lake as madelyn did. how many laps around the lake did sophia run? write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. blank laps submit

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Madelyn's laps

Madelyn ran 29 laps.

Step2: Calculate Sophia's laps

Sophia ran $\frac{1}{3}$ of Madelyn's laps: $29 \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{29}{3}$

Step3: Convert to mixed number

$\frac{29}{3} = 9\frac{2}{3}$ (since $3 \times 9 = 27$, remainder 2)

Answer:

$\frac{29}{3}$ or $9\frac{2}{3}$
