Suppose you walk at the rate of 210 ft/min. You need to walk 10,000 ft. How many more minutes will it take you to finish if you have already walked 550 ft?
10,000 - 550 = 9,450
9,450 / 210 = ?
45
Right.
To calculate the time it will take to complete the remaining distance, we need to find out how much more distance is left to cover after walking 550 ft.
Remaining Distance = Total Distance - Distance Covered
Remaining Distance = 10,000 ft - 550 ft
Remaining Distance = 9,450 ft
Now, we can divide the remaining distance by your walking rate to determine the time it will take to cover that distance.
Time = Distance / Rate
Time = 9,450 ft / 210 ft/min
To find the number of minutes, we divide the remaining distance by the walking rate:
Time = 9,450 ft / 210 ft/min
Time ≈ 45 minutes
Therefore, it will take you approximately 45 more minutes to finish if you have already walked 550 ft.
