Question

In gym class, the sixth graders walk 2 laps for every 3 laps they run. Complete the table. Then plot the pairs of values on the coordinate plane. If the students run 12 laps, how many laps will they walk?

A.
10 laps

B.
6 laps

C.
8 laps

D.
12 laps

Answer 1

Walk:run = 2:3. For every 3 runs there are 2 walks.

Scale up to 12 runs: 12 ÷ 3 = 4, so walks = 2 × 4 = 8.

So answer C (8 laps).
