If you divide the original equation by "a", you have your answer.
30/a = (a*60)/a = 60*(a/a)
30/a = 60
1/10 has the greatest value
45 is the whole number.
9 is the tenth number
7 is the hundredth number.
2 is the thousandth number.
So, its only one hundredth number in this problem
Okay so 300 meters per minute and he ran 8 minutes..
300x8=2400
He still had 600 left to go...
2400+600=3,000
He had to run three times longer than Eric...
3000/3=1000
Does that make sense?
