A treadmill counts one lap as 1/5 mile the display of the treadmill indicates the number of laps already completed and highlights the completed portion of the current lap create a display that shows a total of 13/10 mikes run

To create a display that shows a total of 13/10 miles run, we can use a combination of numbers and a visual representation of the completed portion of the current lap.

1) Number Display: The display should indicate the number of laps completed. Since each lap is 1/5 mile, we can compute the number of laps completed by multiplying the total distance (13/10 miles) by 5.

Total distance = 13/10 miles
Number of laps = (13/10) * 5 = 13/2 laps (or 6 and 1/2 laps)

So, the number display should show "6" (for completed laps) and "1/2" (for the partial lap)

2) Visual Representation: We can represent the completed portion of the current lap visually by using a progress bar or a graphical representation where the length of the bar represents the current lap, and it gets gradually filled up as the lap progresses.

For example, if we assume a progress bar with 10 units representing the distance of a full lap (1/5 mile), we can represent the "1/2" lap as 5 units filled.

Therefore, the visual representation could show: [|||||||||| ] (with 5 units filled)

Combining both the number display and the visual representation, the final display would look like:

6 and 1/2 laps completed out of 13/10 miles
Visual representation: [|||||||||| ]
