Jaelen's new toy car can move four and one-fourth feet in two-thirds second. How far coyld it go in six seconds? THANKS!!
4.25/0.6667 = x/6
Cross multiply and solve for x.
What does the slash mean?
The slash means to divide.
However, proportions are solved this way.
4.25/0.6667 = x/6
Cross multiply.
4.25 * 6 = 0.6667x
25.5 = 0.6667x
25.5 / 0.6667 = x
38.2488 = 38 1/4 feet = x
Well, if Jaelen's toy car can move four and one-fourth feet in two-thirds of a second, we can calculate how far it can go in one second.
First, let's find the car's speed in feet per second:
4 and 1/4 feet in 2/3 of a second
To convert this to feet per second, we can multiply the distance by the reciprocal of the time:
(4 and 1/4) / (2/3) = (17/4) ÷ (2/3) = (17/4) × (3/2) = 51/8 = 6.375 feet per second
Now that we know the car's speed, let's calculate how far it can go in six seconds by multiplying its speed by the time:
6.375 feet per second × 6 seconds = 38.25 feet
So, Jaelen's toy car could go about 38.25 feet in six seconds. Just be careful not to outrun it!
To find out how far Jaelen's new toy car can go in six seconds, we need to first calculate the distance it travels in one second.
Given that the car moves four and one-fourth feet in two-thirds of a second, we can break it down into a proportion:
(4 1/4) feet : (2/3) seconds = x feet : 1 second
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:
(4 1/4) * 1 = (2/3) * x
(17/4) = (2/3) * x
Now, we can solve for x:
(17/4) * (3/2) = x
(51/8) = x
So, the car would move (51/8) feet in one second.
Next, we can calculate how far it can go in six seconds by multiplying the distance traveled in one second by six:
(51/8) * 6 = 306/8 = 38 1/4
Therefore, Jaelen's toy car could go 38 and one-fourth feet in six seconds.
