Leslie ran 4 1/2 laps around the park in 3/4 hour. Kayla ran 3 1/2 laps around the same park in the same amount of time. How many more laps around the park can Leslie run in 1 hour than Kayla at these rates? PLZ EXPLAIN THE STEPS SO I CAN UNDERSTAND ALSO! :D

Leslie:
4.5 laps = 0.75 hrs
x laps = 1.00 hrs

Find x (the number of laps Leslie does in an hour)

Kayla
3.5 laps = 0.75 hrs
y laps = 1.00 hrs

Find y (the number of laps Kayla does in an hour)

x - y is the difference or extra that Leslie will run in an hour
Leslie: 4.5Laps/0.75h = 6 Laps/h

Kala: 3.5Laps/0.75h = 4.67 Laps/h

6Laps/h - 4.67Laps/h = 1.33 Laps/h.

Therefore, Leslie can run 1.33 more laps
in 1 hr. than Kayla.
