Kyle and Taylor ran laps after school to train for the baseball team. The ratio of the number of laps Kyle ran to the number of laps Taylor ran was 2 to 3. If Kyle ran 6 laps, how many laps did Taylor run?

Respuesta :

Answer:

9 laps.

Step-by-step explanation:

-Let x be the number of laps Taylor runs.

-Given that the ratio of Kyle to Taylor laps is 2:3, we express the actual laps in meters to solve for x as follows:

[tex]\frac{Kyle}{Taylor}=\frac{2}{3}\\\\\therefore \frac{2}{3}=\frac{6}{x}\\\\2x=18\\\\x=9[/tex]

Hence, Taylor runs 9 laps.

Answer:9
