Jade ran 6 times around her neighborhood to complete a total of 1 mile. How many times will she need to run to complete 5/6 of a mile?

Answer 1

6 laps = 1 mile
1 lap = 1/6 mile
so, 5 laps

Answer 2

Since 6 laps around her neighborhood equals 1 mile, you can show one lap around the block as 1/6 of a mile. In order to complete 5/6 of a mile she will need to run 5 times around the neighborhood since 1/6 + 1/6 +1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 5/6.

Answer 3

1 mile = 6 times
5/6 mile = (5/6)6 time
5/6 mile = 5 times
