Two toy robots are having a race. Robot A can go 14 meter in 15 seconds. Robot B can go 1 meter in 50 seconds.
1) If Robot A continues at that same speed, how long will it take to go 1 meter? Remember units! _________
2) How long for Robot A to go 4 meters at that speed? Remember units! _________
Help meee!
From your posting, data on robot B is unnecessary.
1) 14/15 = ?
2) 14/15 * 4 = ?
If the second one is a typo and you mean Robot B, 4 * 50 = ?
Its actuatlly 1/4 not 14 I accidentelly messed up
To find the answer to these questions, we need to use the given information about the distance and time for Robot A's speed.
1) We are given that Robot A can go 14 meters in 15 seconds. To find out how long it will take Robot A to go 1 meter, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the time in seconds to go 1 meter.
We can set up the following proportion:
14 meters / 15 seconds = 1 meter / x seconds
Now we can solve for x by cross-multiplying:
14 meters * x seconds = 1 meter * 15 seconds
Simplifying, we get:
14x = 15
Dividing both sides by 14, we get:
x = 15 / 14
So, Robot A will take 15/14 seconds to go 1 meter.
2) Now, to find out how long it will take Robot A to go 4 meters, we can again set up a proportion.
Let y be the time in seconds to go 4 meters.
We can set up the following proportion:
14 meters / 15 seconds = 4 meters / y seconds
Cross-multiplying, we get:
14 meters * y seconds = 4 meters * 15 seconds
Simplifying, we get:
14y = 60
Dividing both sides by 14, we get:
y = 60 / 14
So, Robot A will take 60/14 seconds to go 4 meters.
