To find the unit rate, we can divide the total number of laps completed by the total time taken.

Unit rate = Total number of laps / Total time taken

Unit rate = 40 laps / 5 minutes
Unit rate = 8 laps per minute

Now, we can use the unit rate to calculate how many laps Jaden can complete in 12 and 18 minutes:

12 minutes x 8 laps per minute = 96 laps
18 minutes x 8 laps per minute = 144 laps

Therefore, Jaden can complete 96 laps in 12 minutes and 144 laps in 18 minutes if he maintains the same rate.
how many does he complete in 1 minute though
Jaden completes 8 laps in 1 minute.
