Question

An elephant herd travels 10 miles in 12 hours. Kamilia wants to know how many miles in 1 hour. Esau wants to know how many miles the herd will travel in 1 hour

Answer 1

To figure out how many miles they go in 1 hour, you divide 10 by 12. To figure how long it will take them to go 1 mile, divide 12 by 10.

Answer 2

Answer:
`0.83\text{ mile}`

Explanation:

Given: An elephant herd travels 10 miles in 12 hours.

Esau wants to know how many miles the herd will travel in 1 hour.

For this we need to divide the number of miles elephant travels in 12 hours by 12.

We get, An elephant herd travels in 1 hour=
`=(10)/(12)=0.8333333\approx0.83\text{ mile}`

Hence, An elephant herd travels in 1 hour=
`0.83\text{ mile}`
