Question

VU

An ant can travel approximately 30 meters per minute. 'How many meters could an ant move in 45 minutes?

Answer 1

1350 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

45x30=1350

Answer 2

An ant can move 1350 meters in 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average velocity is defined as:

`v = (d)/(t)` (1)

Where v is the velocity, d is the distance and t is the time

Then, d can be isolated from equation 1:

`d = v \cdot t` (2)

The velocity of the ant is 30 m/min (30 meters per minute). Which means that the ant can cover 30 meters in one minute.

Finally, equation 2 can be used.

`d = (30 (m)/(min)) \cdot (45min)`

`d = 1350m`

Hence, an ant can move 1350 meters in 45 minutes.
