Question

A ghost crab can travel about 12 miles every 6 hours on the ocean’s floor. How far can the crab travel in 11 hours? Explain how you found your solution.

Answer 1

22 miles in 11 hours!

Explanation:

We already know a ghost crab can travel 12 miles in 6 hours.

Now, we just need to find the how many miles per hour the crab walks.

We simply divide 12 miles by 6 hours which gives us 2 miles in 1 hour.

That means, we multiply 11 by 2 which gives us 22 miles!

The ghost crab can travel 22 miles in 11 hours. When you find the rate of change by dividing 12 by 6, it gives you 2 m/h. That enables you to find the amount of miles by multiplying 11 hours by two which gives you 22!
