Question

HUrry please! A meteoroid moving at a constant speed travels 6 7/8 miles in 30 seconds.How far does the meteoroid travel in 1 second?

Answer 1

Answer: 11/48

Explanation:

Based on the given conditions, formulate: 6 7/8 / 30 Convert the express

Answer 2

`(29)/(120)\ or \ 0.2`

Explanation:

`6(7)/(8)`

`6(7)/(8)` is equivalent to:

`8*6+1\\\\48+7\\\\55\\\\(55)/(8)`

We need to divide
`(55)/(8)` by 30 to know how far it moves per second (1 second)

`((58)/(8))/(30) \\\\\\frac{58}{8}/(30)/(1)\\\\ (58)/(8)*(1)/(30)\\\\(58)/(240)\\\\ (29)/(120) \\\\0.2`

The meteoroid travels
`(29)/(120) = 0.2` in one second.

Hope this helps!
