Question

In the warmer months, Ms.Selwa likes to run to school to get in her daily exercise. She can run 1/6 of a kilometer in a minute. Michael Power Saint Joseph is 3/6 of a kilometer away from her home. At this speed, how long will it take Ms.Selwa to run to school every morning?

Answer 1

3 minutes

Explanation:

If Ms. Selwa can run 1/6 of a kilometer in a minute, she can run 3/6 of a kilometer in 3 minutes.

This is because 1/6 times 3 equals 3/6, which is the distance of the school from her home.

So, it will take Ms. Selwa 3 minutes to run to school.
