Q. Last week, Fernando ran 44 laps around the lake. Derek ran 45\frac{4}{5} as many laps around the lake as Fernando did. How many laps around the lake did Derek run?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline_____ laps
  1. Identify laps and fraction: Step 11: Identify the total laps Fernando ran and the fraction Derek ran compared to Fernando.\newlineFernando's laps = 44\newlineFraction of Fernando's laps that Derek ran = 45\frac{4}{5}\newlineCalculation: 44 (Fernando's laps) ×45\times \frac{4}{5} (Fraction for Derek)
  2. Perform multiplication: Step 22: Perform the multiplication to find out how many laps Derek ran.\newlineCalculation: 4×45=165=3.24 \times \frac{4}{5} = \frac{16}{5} = 3.2
