If 3 laps equal 1/4 miles, how many miles do 8 laps represent?

1/2 miles
2/3 miles
3/4 miles
1 mile

The correct answer is: 2/3 miles

To determine how many miles 8 laps represent, we first need to establish the distance for a single lap. If 3 laps are equivalent to 1/4 miles, we can find the distance of one lap by dividing the total distance by the number of laps: 1/4 miles ÷ 3 laps = 1/12 miles per lap. Now, to find out how many miles 8 laps would represent, we multiply the number of laps (8) by the distance of one lap (1/12 miles): 8 laps × 1/12 miles per lap = 8/12 miles. This fraction can be simplified. 8 divided by 4 is 2, and 12 divided by 4 is 3, which simplifies to 2/3 miles. Thus, 8 laps represent 2/3 miles, making it the correct choice.
