She ran 2 miles because you have to multiply 3 laps by 2/3. It already gives you the total for 1 mile so you don't need to do any division all you have to do is multiply and you get 2 miles.

Answer:

\(2\ laps\)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Tara ran \(3\) laps around her neighborhood for a total of \(1\) mile yesterday

so

by proportion

Find how many laps will she need to run \(2/3\) of a mile around her neighborhood

\(\frac{3}{1}\frac{laps}{mile}=\frac{x}{(2/3)}\frac{laps}{mile} \\ \\x=(2/3)*3\\ \\x=2\ laps\)
