Intervals

Adil completes a \(12\) km route using interval training. Interval training is a way to prepare for a race. One interval consists of running for \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a kilometre followed by walking for \(\frac{2}{3}\) of a kilometre.

  1. How many intervals will he do when completing the \(12\) km route?

  2. After two weeks, he changes his intervals to running for \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a kilometre followed by walking for \(\frac{3}{4}\) of a kilometre. At this pace, how many intervals does it take to complete the \(12\) km route?
