Pierre runs the same around a track each day 4 days a week. He runs a total of 12 miles each week. It takes 8 laps of the track to equal a mile. Which equation could you use to find how many laps Pierre runs each day?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l represent number of miles ran by Pierre each day.

We have been given that Pierre runs the same around a track each day 4 days a week. So number of laps ran is 4 days would be .

We are also told that he runs a total of 12 miles each week and it takes 8 laps of the track to equal a mile. So number of laps in 12 miles would be 8 times 12.

Now, we will equate total laps ran in 4 days by 8 times 12 as:

Therefore, we can use the equation  to find how many laps Pierre runs each day.

Let us solve for l as:

Therefore, Pierre runs 24 laps each day.
