Answer:
53.2 meters
Explanation:
If an elephant charged 13.3 meters in 15 seconds, to calculate the distance charged by the elephant in one minute we do the following:
15 seconds by 13.3 meters and 1 minute (60 seconds) by x
Note: Why x and why set up this way? We need to figure out how far it traveled in 1 min aka 60 seconds, so if we set up what we know (16 by 13.3) we can cross multiply to figure out the ratio and get our answer :D
also written as:
(time on top and distance on bottom!)
Cross multiply:
15 * x = 13.3 * 60
15x = 798
Divide both sides by 15
5x/15 = 798/15
x = 53.2 meters
So the elephant will charge 53.2 meters for 1 minute!
Hope this helps, have a nice day! :D
