Explanation:
Thor: 30 laps
Shaq: 5/9 Thor's laps.
To find how many laps Shaq did, we have to multiply Thor's laps by 5/9:
[tex]30\times\frac{5}{9}=\frac{30\times5}{9}=\frac{150}{9}[/tex]And simplify the fraction:
[tex]\frac{150}{9}=\frac{50}{3}[/tex]It's an improper fraction. Written as a mixed number:
[tex]\frac{50}{3}=16\frac{2}{3}[/tex]Answer:
Shaq did 16 2/3 laps around the lake
