Question

One ferret digs 456 cubic centimeters of soil from burrow in 5 minutes. Based on this digging rate, write an equation that can be used to predict the amount of soil,s, in cubic centimeters the ferrets can dig from the burrow in a minutes.

Answer 1

Answer: 93m

Explanation:

The equation that represents the amount of soil, s in cubic centimeters the ferret can dig from the burrow in m minute is as follows:

= 93m

One of the ferrets digs 465 cubic centimeters of soil from a burrow in 5 minutes.

The digging rate can be calculated as follows;

What is rate?

A rate is a ratio between two related quantities in different units. Therefore,

rate = 465 / 5 = 93 cubic centimeters per minutes.
