Question

a penguin walks 10 feet un 6 seconds .at this speed: how far does the penguin walk un 45 secondshow long does it take the penguin to walk 45 feets

Answer 1

We can calculate the number of feet that the penguin walk in 45 seconds using a rule of three, where we know that every 6 seconds the penguin walks 10 feet, so:

6 seconds ------------ 10 feet

45 seconds ----------- X

Where x is the number of feet that the penguin walk in 45 seconds.

So, solving for x, we get:

$X=\frac{45\text{ seconds}\cdot10\text{ feet}}{6\text{ seconds}}=75\text{ feet}$

At the same way, the number of seconds that the penguin needs to walk 45 feet is:

6 seconds ------------- 10 feet

Y -------------- 45 feet

Where Y is the number of seconds that the penguin takes to walk 45 feet.

$Y=\frac{6\text{ seconds}\cdot45\text{ feet}}{10\text{ feet}}=27\text{ seconds}$

Answers: 1. 75 feet

2. 27 seconds
