Answer:
The x in this question is 151 degrees
To solve this questions, we can turn 2 into a fractions.
2 as a fraction is 2/1 (because 2 divide by 1 is still 2)
We can now use this to get our answer.
1/3 ÷ 2/1
= 1/3 × 1/2 (flip the fraction and then multiply)
= 1/6 (1 x 1 / 3 x 6)
Or 0.16666.. as a decimal
We know that:
time=distance/speed
if the tortoise speed is x m/min, then since 0.5 m/hr=1/120 m/min
18/x=23+18/(x+1/120)
solving for x we get:
x=0.08 m/min
speed of hare is:
(0.08+1/120)=0.088 m/min
