Question

The quotient 250÷5/8 tells about how far a sloth may move in one hour. How far can a sloth go in 90 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: In 90 minutes, the sloth may move 600 units.

Step-by-step explanation: 250/5/8 = 250 × (8/5)

= 400

So, a sloth may move 400 units per hour.

In other words, a sloth may move in 400 units per 60 minutes.

So, it will move = 200 units per 30 minutes.

Therefore, it will move (400 + 200) units per (60 + 30) minutes.

Hope this helps! Have a stupendous day <3

Answer 2

Given: A sloth may move in one hour = 250÷5/8.

let us simplify 250÷5/8 first.

Division sign can be convert into multiplication sign and flip the right side fraction 5/8 to 8/5.

250×
`(8)/(5)`

Dividing 250 by 5, we get

= 50 × 8

Multiplying 50 and 8, we get

= 400.

So, we could say, a sloth may move in one hour = 400 units.

We need to find distance covered in 90 minutes.

Let us convert 90 minutes into hours.

60 minute = 1 hour.

1 minute = 1/60 th of an hour.

and 90 minutes = 90 * 1/60 = 90/60 = 9/6 = 1.5 hours.

We already got above that a Sloth may move in one hour = 400 units.

Therefore, in 1.5 hours Sloth can move = 1.5 × 400 = 600 units.

So, a sloth go 600 units in 90 minutes .
