<PRE><B>Question 967195</B>
it would take 40/22 minutes.


this can be reduced to 20/11 which is equal to 1 and 9/11 minutes.


since 9/11 minutes * 60 is equal to 540 / 11 seconds, and since 540 / 11 aeconds is equal to 49 and 1/11 seconds, then it would take 1 minute 49 and 1/11 seconds to run one lap.


to confirm, multiply 1 minute 49 and 1/11 seconds by 22 to get 22 minutes 1078 and 2 seconds which is equivalent to 22 minutes 1080 seconds.


1080 seconds divided by 60 equals 18 minutes.


22 minutes + 18 minutes = 40 minutes.


solution is good.


it takes 1 minute 49 and 1/11 seconds to run one lap.
