Answer 2

Answer: 5 or more laps

One lap takes 4 minutes and she’s running 20 laps. You can solve this by making a ratio saying 1/4=x/20 and cross multiply. This gives you the equation “20=4x”. Divide both sides by 4 which would give you x=5. Now, take into account that it says she’s running more than 20 minutes so your answer is all integers greater than 5.
