Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Rachel's laps per minute

To find laps per minute, divide number of laps by time. For Rachel: $18 \div 3 = 6$

Step2: Calculate Maya's laps per minute

For Maya: $24 \div 6 = 4$

Step3: Calculate Lashonda's laps per minute

For Lashonda: $56 \div 8 = 7$

Step4: Compare the rates

Rachel: 6 laps/min, Maya: 4 laps/min, Lashonda: 7 laps/min. 7 > 6 > 4, so Lashonda is fastest.

Answer:

Number of laps completed per minute by Rachel: $6$
Number of laps completed per minute by Maya: $4$
Number of laps completed per minute by Lashonda: $7$
Select the person who drove the fastest: Lashonda
