Question

An ant is traveling at a speed of 2 inches per second. At this rate, how many feet will it travel in 1 minute?

Answer 1

In 1 second, Ant travels = 2 inches
So, in 1 min (=60 sec) Ant will travel = 2*60 = 120 inches.

Now, we know 1 inch. = 1/12 foot
so, 120 inch = 1/12 * 120 foot = 10 feet

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

If an ant is traveling 2 inches per second, then use the equation x * y = ? In this case, x = 2, and y = 60. So, 2 * 60 = 120. SO now we have 120 inches, 120 inches is equal to 10 feet, and 60 seconds is a minute, so the ant will travel 10 feet in one minute. Does this help?
