Respuesta :

Answer:

Leo run 21 laps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Mark and Leo are on the track team. The ratio of the laps that Mark ran to the number that leo ran was 5 to 7.

It is given that the ratio is 5 to 7.

This can be written as:

[tex]\frac{Mark}{Leo} =\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

Let Mark ran 15 laps.

[tex]\frac{15}{Leo} =\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

[tex]Leo=\frac{15\times 7}{5} [/tex]

[tex]Leo=3\times 7 [/tex]

[tex]Leo=21[/tex]

Hence, Leo run 21 laps.
