Question

Suppose a duck flies 27 kilometers in 18 minutes. At this rate, how far can it fly in 6 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: The duck can fly 9 kilometers in 6 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation: The rate at which the duck is flying can be calculated as:

Rate = Distance / Time

So, for the initial scenario, where the duck flies 27 kilometers in 18 minutes:

Rate = 27 kilometers / 18 minutes = 1.5 kilometers per minute

Now, we can use this rate to calculate the distance the duck can fly in 6 minutes:

Distance = Rate × Time

Distance = 1.5 kilometers per minute × 6 minutes = 9 kilometers

Answer 2

Explanation:

Using proportions we get 27km/18m = xlm/6m. We get the equation 27(6) = 18x. This equals out to 9 km. Meaning the answer is 9 KM

Answer: 9 KM
