Track Meet Math: How Many Fraction Laps?

Find how many unit fractions fit into a whole number of miles.

Picture the laps

Use the number line or fraction bars to count how many unit-fraction pieces fit.

The practice loop is 3 miles long. Coach splits it into sections that are each 1/4 mile long. The number line goes from 0 to 3 miles with a tick mark every 1/4 mile.

3 ÷ 1/4 = sections

Jada's warm-up jog is 2 miles. She splits it into parts that are each 1/3 mile long. The number line goes from 0 to 2 miles with a tick mark every 1/3 mile.

2 ÷ 1/3 = parts
