Answer 1

it would be 48 to 56

Answer 2

Answer:

Since she is going to run less than 7 laps, the most she can run is 48 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved as a rule of three problem.

The most she can run is 6 laps, since she is going to run less than 7. For each lap, there are 8 minutes. How many minutes are there for 6 laps? So

1 lap - 8 minutes

6 laps - x minutes

x = 8*6 = 48 minutes.

Since she is going to run less than 7 laps, the most she can run is 48 minutes.
