Question

A football field is 300ft long a sloth moving very quickly travels 60ft every 5 minutes based on this ratio how many minutes would it take a sloth to travel the length of a football field

Answer 1

Answer:

25 minute

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of the total distance traveled  to the total time taken to reach this distance. The formula for speed is:

Speed = total distance / total time taken

The total distance covered by the sloth = 60 ft, and the time taken = 5 minutes, hence:

Speed = total distance / total time taken

speed of the sloth = 60 ft / 5 minutes = 12 ft per minute.

We can calculate the time taken for the sloth to travel the length of the football field (i.e. 300 ft)

speed = distance / time

12 ft/minute = 300 ft / time

time = 300 ft / (12 ft/minute)

time = 25 minute
