Question

The Quotient 250 divided by 5/8 tells about how far a sloth may move in one hour How far can a sloth go in 90 minutes?

Answer 1

Given condition is:

A sloth moves in one hour = $\frac{250}{5/8}$

$\frac{5}{8}=0.625$

So, a sloth moves in one hour = $\frac{250}{0.625}=400 units$

Hence, in 60 minutes a sloth moves = 400

In 1 minute sloth will move = $\frac{400}{60}$

In 90 minutes it will  move = $\frac{400}{60}\times90=600$

The answer is 600 units.

Answer 2

Answer:

A sloth can move 600 units in 90 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem says that if you divide 250 in $\frac{5}{8}$ you obtain how far a sloth move in one hour, then:

$250:\frac{5}{8}=\frac{250.8}{5}= \frac{2000}{5}=400$

A sloth moves 400 units in one hour (60 minutes).

We can use a rule of three,

400 units ⇒ 60 minutes

x               ⇒ 90 minutes

$x=\frac{90.400}{60} \\\\x=\frac{36000}{60}\\\\x=600$

A sloth can move 600 units in 90 minutes.
