Answer:

A. 6 miles

B. 620 meters

C. [tex]\dfrac{4}{6}\\ \\\dfrac{620}{930}\\ \\\dfrac{8}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran was 2 to 3.

A.  If Mason ran 4 miles, then one lap is [tex]4:2=2[/tex] miles long and Laney ran [tex]2\cdot 3=6[/tex] miles.

The diagram is attached.

B. If Laney ran 930 meters, then one lap is [tex]930:3=310[/tex] meters long. Thus, Mason ran [tex]310\cdot 2=620[/tex] meters.

The same diagram is true.

C. Equivalent ratios ti the ratio 2:3 are

[tex]\dfrac{4}{6}\\ \\\dfrac{620}{930}\\ \\\dfrac{8}{12}[/tex]
