Question

A brown bear can run 44 meters in 4 seconds. At this rate, how far could a brown bear run in 20 seconds?

Answer 1

220 meters

Explanation:

20 seconds is 5 times larger than 4 seconds, so the distance it runs in 20 seconds should be 5 times longer than 44 meters
so:
20/4 = 5
since x is 5 times larger than 44, set up the equation
5 = x/44
multiply both sides by 44
x= 44 * 5 = 220 meters
