2 team's r cleaning highways it takes 1 team 5 minutes to clean 200 yards how many minutes will it take to clean 2 miles?
First convert yards to miles:
200 yards = 0.114 miles
Set up a relation:
(5mins/0.114miles) = x / 2miles
Solve for x to get answer in minutes
It takes 1 team 5 minutes to clean 200 yards
It takes 2 teams 5 minutes to clean 400 yards
(assuming they don't get in each other's way)
1760/400 = 22/5
It takes 2 teams 5(22/5) minutes to clean 1760 yards
<b<It takes 2 teams 22 minutes to clean 1 mile
(DonHo's answer is appr 87.7 minutes)
44 min
To find out how many minutes it will take to clean 2 miles, we need to convert the given information into a common unit of measurement.
Given:
1 team takes 5 minutes to clean 200 yards.
First, let's convert yards to miles since we want the final answer in terms of miles.
1 mile = 1760 yards (this is a conversion factor)
So, we can calculate the number of yards in 2 miles:
2 miles * 1760 yards/mile = 3520 yards
Now, we know that 1 team can clean 200 yards in 5 minutes. We can set up a proportion to find the answer:
1 team's cleaning time / 200 yards = total cleaning time / 3520 yards
cross-multiplying:
1 team's cleaning time * 3520 yards = 200 yards * total cleaning time
Simplifying:
3520 team's cleaning time = 200 total cleaning time
Dividing both sides by 3520:
team's cleaning time = (200 total cleaning time) / 3520
Now, we want to solve for the total cleaning time when the yards cleaned is 3520 (2 miles).
total cleaning time = (200 * 3520) / 3520
Canceling out 3520:
total cleaning time = 200 minutes
Therefore, it will take 200 minutes for 1 team to clean 2 miles of highways.
