Explanation:

Thor: 30 laps

Shaq: 5/9 Thor's laps.

To find how many laps Shaq did, we have to multiply Thor's laps by 5/9:

[tex]30\times\frac{5}{9}=\frac{30\times5}{9}=\frac{150}{9}[/tex]

And simplify the fraction:

[tex]\frac{150}{9}=\frac{50}{3}[/tex]

It's an improper fraction. Written as a mixed number:

[tex]\frac{50}{3}=16\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Answer:

Shaq did 16 2/3 laps around the lake
