An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the O-inch mark to the east and the 36-Inch mark to the west. It start
1 answer:
Answer:
33 Inches
Explanation:
The movement of the ant is sketched in the attached image. The ant moved from the 19-inch mark to 27-inch mark covering a distance of 13 Inches (27 - 19). Finally, it moved from the 27-inch mark to 7-inch mark covering a distance of 20 Inches (27 - 7).
Total Distance covered = 13 + 20 = 33 Inches.
<em>Hence, the total distance the ant traveled is </em><em>33 Inches.</em>

Speed of Dayshawn travelling towards his home is 12 m/s
Speed of her mom towards his school is 5 m/s
They both starts at same time so whenever they will meet on their path the sum of the distance covered by Dayshawn and distance covered by his mom must be equal to the total distance of school and home
Now let say they both meet after "t" time when they starts motion
so we can write the total distance between school and home as
here d = 6492 m
= speed of dayshawn
= speed of his mom
now by solving the above equation
so they will meet after 381.9 s from start which will be 3.36 minutes from there start
Also at this time the distance covered by her mom will be
so they will meet at distance 1909.4 m from their home
