An ant carries food at a speed of 1 cm/s. How long will it take the ant to carry a cookie crumb from the kitchen table to a the ant hill, a distance of 50 m? Express your answer in seconds, minutes, and hours.

Help please?

Respuesta :

speed=distance/time 
time = distance/speed
Keep distance and speed in cm and cm/sec 
Meters x 100 = cm time
= 50 m X 100/ 1 = 5000 secs 
= 5000/60 mins = 83 1/3 mins 
1/3min = 20 sec.
So 83 1/3 mins 
= 1 Hr 23 Min and 20 Secs

The total time taken by the ant to take cookie crumbs from the kitchen table to an anthill is 83.33 minutes.

What is the linear system?

It is a system of an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. A one-dimension figure that has no width. It is a combination of infinite points side by side.

Given

An ant carries food at a speed of 1 cm/s.

The kitchen table to an anthill, a distance of 50 m.

We know the relation between speed and time.

[tex]\rm Time = \dfrac{distance}{speed}[/tex]

Speed = 1 cm per second = 0.6 m per minute

Distance = 50 m

Then total time taken will be

[tex]\rm Time = \dfrac{50}{0.6}\\\\Time = 83.33[/tex]

Thus, the total time taken by the ant to take cookie crumb from the kitchen table to an anthill is 83.33 minutes.
