My method is on a) you would just subtract 12 and 7 which is 5. You can do the rest and then when you get all the answers put them from smallest to largest

After 34 of a minute a sloth has moved just 38 of a foot. What is the sloth's speed in feet per minute?

Answer:

Speed = 0.895 feet per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance covered by the sloth = 38 of a foot

= $\frac{1}{38}$ foot

Time taken to move this distance = 34 of a minute

= $\frac{1}{34}$ minute

Since, formula for the speed is,

Speed = $\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Time taken}}$

= $\frac{\frac{1}{38}}{\frac{1}{34}}$

= $\frac{1}{38}\times \frac{34}{1}$

= $\frac{17}{19}$

= 0.895 feet per minute
