Question

How many minutes does it take for the goose to fly 1 mile if it takes 6 minutes to fly 18 miles

Answer 1

1/3 minutes

Explanation:

We can write a ratio to solve

6 minutes x minutes

---------------- = ------------------

18 miles 1 mile

Using cross products

6 * 1 = 18 x

6 = 18x

Divide each side by 18

6/18 = 18x/18

1/3 = x

1/3 minutes
