Question

please help !!KL Comics is planning to create a new Superherofor its next comic book series. You have been askedto help make the final selection based on thesuperpowers of three possible Superheroes. Table1 gives information about how fast each Superherocan run, fly, and swim.

Answer 1

50 miles

Explanation:

From the given table, Superhero B can swim 10 miles in 3 minutes.

We want to find out how far he can swim in 15 minutes.

Let the distance he can swim in 15 minutes = x miles.

`(Distance)/(Time):\frac{10\;miles}{3\text{ minutes}}=\frac{x\;miles}{15\text{ minutes}}`

Solve the equation for x:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Cross multiply} \\ 3x=10*15 \\ \text{ Divide both sides by 3} \\ (3x)/(3)=(10*15)/(3) \\ x=50\text{ miles} \end{gathered}`

Superhero B can swim 50 miles in 15 minutes.
