Since he ran 24 laps on that day and it is equivalent to 66 % or 2/3 of the maximum number of laps he can run in a day, we can find the maximum number by applying a rule of three. This is done in such a way that 24 laps is related to 66 % on the same proportion that "x" laps is related to 100%.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{24}{x}\text{ = }\frac{66}{100} \\ 66\cdot x\text{ = 24}\cdot100 \\ 66\cdot x\text{ = 2400} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{2400}{66}\text{ = }36 \end{gathered}[/tex]The maximum number of laps he has ran in one day is approximately 36.
