1. Stating the problem: We need to solve for the number of laps when given distances 700 meters and 3.7 kilometers. 2. Convert all distances to the same unit for consistency. Since 1 kilometer = 1000 meters, convert 3.7 km to meters: $$3.7 \text{ km} = 3.7 \times 1000 = 3700 \text{ meters}$$ 3. Calculate the number of laps based on one lap length. Assuming the lap length is 700 meters, the number of laps for 3.7 km is: $$\text{Number of laps} = \frac{3700}{700} = \frac{37}{7} = 5.2857... \approx 5.29$$ 4. Interpretation: There are approximately 5.29 laps in 3.7 km if each lap is 700 meters long. Final answer: \boxed{5.29 \text{ laps}}
