Jade ran six times around her neighborhood to complete a total of one mile. how many times will she need to run to complete 5/6 of a mile

-- 6 laps around the neighborhood  =  1 mile

-- Each lap  =  1/6 of a mile.

-- 5/6 of a mile requires 5 laps.



Using a proportion:

                       ('L' laps) / (5/6 mile)  =  (6 laps) / (1 mile)

Cross-multiply the proportion:

                       L lap-mile  =  (6) x (5/6) lap-mile

Divide each side by  mile :

                         L lap  =  (6) x (5/6) lap  =  5 lap

 

If you make you answer for clear i can answer it : )

It is the top one. the answer is -7. that is smallest
