Answer:

20 laps

Step-by-step explanation:

18 divide by 4 = 4.5

so 1 lap equals 4.5 minutes

and 1 and half hours is 90 minutes so 90 divide by 4.5 = 20 laps

He can run 20 laps.

90 minutes is 1 1/2 hours
We setup the equation to solve:

4/18=x/90

Solve for x by isolating and then cross multiply.

2/9=x/90

Cross multiply,

180=9x

Swap sides,

9x=180

Divide both sides by 9

X=20 :)
