Question

A football field is 300 feet long. A sloth moving very quickly travels 60 feet every 5 minutes. Based on this ratio, how many minutes would it take a sloth to travel the length of a football field? Explain your answer. help me please

Answer 1

25 minutes.

Explanation: if the field is 300 feet and the sloth travels 60 feet every 5 minutes, you would divide 300 feet by 60 feet to determine the distance the sloth can travel. That gives you 5, then you would multiple 5 by 5 minutes.

side note: there’s probably a simpler way to explain this
