Answer: The laps run by Jorge are 8.
Explanation:
Given : Ratio of number of laps Juan run to the number of laps Jorge run = 5: 2
Thus we assume the total laps = x
Number of laps run by Juan = 5x
Number of laps run by Jorge = 2x
Given : 5x = 20
Thus [tex]x=\frac{20}{5}=4[/tex]
and 2x = [tex]2\times 4=8[/tex]
Thus laps run by Jorge are 8.
