Given:
Total distance of race = 6 miles
Track length = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] miles
To find:
The number of laps to complete the race.
Solution:
We know that,
[tex]Number of laps = \dfrac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Length of one lap}}[/tex]
[tex]Number of laps = \dfrac{6}{\dfrac{1}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]Number of laps =6\times \dfrac{4}{1}[/tex]
[tex]Number of laps =24[/tex]
Therefore, the required number of laps is 24.
