Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

155 Units

Explanation:

Rate of Bug (given) = 11 units PER MINUTE

It never changed direction, so it was going in positive direction (assume).

In 7:15 pm (evening), it was at Point 100,

We want the point at which it was at 7:20 pm.

7:20pm - 7:15pm = 5 minutes

So, time passed 5 minutes. It's rate is 11 units PER MINUTE, so in 5 mins:

11 * 5 = 55 units

Assuming he is going in positive direction, the bug will be at:

100 + 55 = 155 Units
