Question

the average sneeze can travel 3/100 mile in 3 seconds. at this rate how far can it travel in 1 minute​

Answer 1

60/100 of a mile because if in three seconds it goes 3/100 it would mean 1/100 would be one second and one minute is 60 seconds so it would be 60/100 of a mile

Answer 2

0.6 mile

Explanation:

Given: The distance traveled in 3 seconds is
`(3)/(100)` miles.

To find: The distance it can travel in 1 minute.

Solution: In order to find the distance traveled in 1 minute, first we need to find the distance traveled in 1 second.

In 3 seconds it can travel
`(3)/(100)` miles. So, in 1 second it can travel
`(3)/(100*3) =(1)/(100)` miles.

Now, we know that in 1 minute there are 60 seconds. So, in 1 minute it can travel

`=(1)/(100) *60`

`=(1)/(10) *6`

`=(6)/(10)`

`=0.6` mile

Hence, it can travel 0.6 mile in a minute.
