Question

A mole left its burrow 4 feet underground and started digging deeper into the ground. It digs straight down at a constant rate of 3 feet per minute.

How long does it take the mole to reach 13 feet underground?

Answer 1

Answer: 3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation: Since the mole is already 4 feet below ground, and we want to know how long it will take to get to 13 feet below ground level, we would do 13-4=9. Now, we would do 9 divided by 3, which is 3. That is the correct answer.
