Question

“An elephant charged 13.3 meters in 15 seconds.

Answer 1

Answer:

53.2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

If an elephant charged 13.3 meters in 15 seconds, to calculate the distance charged by the elephant in one minute, the following steps will be arried out.

15 seconds = 13.3 meters

1minute (60 seconds) = x

cross multiply

15 * x = 13.3 * 60

15x = 798

Divide both sides by 15

15x/15 = 798/15

x = 53.2metres

Hence the elephant will charge 53.2 meters for 1 minute
