Answer:
196 inches
1372 inches
Explanation:
d = Distance traveled = 980 inches
t = Time taken = 5 minutes
Speed is given by
[tex]s=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{980}{5}\\\Rightarrow s=196\ \text{inches/minute}[/tex]
Now t = 1 minute
Distance is given by
[tex]d=st\\\Rightarrow d=196\times 1\\\Rightarrow d=196\ \text{inches}[/tex]
The ant travels 196 inches in 1 minute.
Now t = 7 minutes
[tex]d=st\\\Rightarrow d=196\times 7\\\Rightarrow d=1372\ \text{inches}[/tex]
The distance traveled by the ant in 7 minutes is 1372 inches.
