The ratios 4 laps in 1 hour and 32 laps in 8 hours are alike in that both represent a rate of laps completed over time. Specifically, both ratios yield the same rate of 4 laps per hour when simplified. However, they differ in their total quantities; the first ratio has fewer laps and a shorter duration, while the second has more laps and a longer duration, reflecting a higher overall output.
To find the time it takes to run 3 laps, we first determine the time per lap. Running 2 laps in 3 minutes means each lap takes 1.5 minutes. For 4 laps in 6 minutes, each lap takes 1.5 minutes as well. Therefore, running 3 laps would take 3 laps × 1.5 minutes/lap = 4.5 minutes.
