Since the number of minutes and number of laps completed varies directly, therefore if 2.75 laps correspond to 1 min then:
[tex]\frac{2.75\text{laps}}{1\min}=\frac{41.25\text{laps}}{x\min }\text{.}[/tex]Solving for x we get:
[tex]x\min =\frac{41.25}{2.75}1\min =15\min \text{.}[/tex]Answer: Option B.
