Show your beginning work, or ask a specific question about the exercise, or explain why you're stuck. …We'd like to check your efforts so far, or read what you've been thinking or getting confused about (especially if you're not able to start).

Simply posting an exercise statement without showing work or asking specific questions is not enough for us to help you quickly. As tutors, we need clues about parts you already understand versus what you find confusing, so we can determine where to begin helping you.

If Mikayla ran 4 times as many laps as the average student

Hi Ari. I'm guessing here. Are you stuck on "the average student" part? They mean the number of laps per student. In other words:

Mikayla ran 4 times as many laps as the average number of laps per student
