tara ran 3 laps around her neighborhood for a total of 1 mile yesterday. today she wants to run 2/3 of a mile. how many laps will she need to run around her neighborhood?
She will need to run 2 laps. Since she ran 3 laps and ran a mile, each lap equals a third of a mile. When you divide 1/3 by 2/3 ([tex] \frac{2}{3} / \frac{1}{3} [/tex]), it equals 2.
