Question

A dog is chasing a squirrel and the dog is running 45 miles per hour, how long does it takes the dog if he catches the squirrel in 3 miles?

Answer 1

4 minutes.

Explanation:

45 miles in 60 minutes

3 miles in x minutes

3 x 60 divided by 45 = 4

To check yourself, 45 divided by 3 gives you 15 sets of 3 minute segments. 15 x 4 = 60 minutes or 1 hour.
