Answer:

6.5laps

Step-by-step explanation:

If one lap=1/5mile

How many laps will equate to 13/10miles.

Essentially the question tests for cross-multiply to simplify the equation and therefore determine the value of the missing variable.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}mile=1 \ lap\\\frac{13}{10}miles=x \ laps?\\x \ laps=\frac{{\frac{13}{10}*1}}{\frac{1}{5}}\\x=6.5 \ laps[/tex]

The dispaly for 13/10 miles is displayed as 6.5
