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: \text{Sloth covers }9(3)/(8)\text{in 90 minutes.}`

Explanation :

Since we have given that

`\text{in 1 hour sloth may move = }(250)/(5* 8)`

`\text{ In 60 minutes , sloth may move = }(25)/(4)`

`\text{ In 1 minute, it may move = }(25)/(4* 60)\\\\\text{ In 1 minute, it may move = }(5)/(48)`

`\text{ In 90 minutes, it may move}\\=(5* 90)/(48)\\ \\=(75)/(8)\\\\=9(3)/(8)`

∴
`\text{Sloth covers }9(3)/(8)\text{in 90 minutes.}`
