Fill in the blanks with the answer to each question based on information provided.
Two toy robots are having a race. Robot A can go 1/4 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! _________
Geesssh, in your previous postings of this same question you realized that
you said 14 meters in 15 seconds instead of 1/4 metres in 15 seconds.
Why wouldn't you just change the 14 m/s to 1/4 m/s in my solution
then redo the calculation ????
btw, the question still talks about some robotB, who does not enter the
picture anywhere in the questions.
Nooo....... Ya'll are thinking it wrong just forget about Robot B, this is a math equation read FIRST carefully.
You dont have to worry about robot B the question is asking you about Robot A.
1) To find how long it will take for Robot A to go 1 meter, we can set up a proportion using the given information. Since Robot A can go 1/4 meter in 15 seconds, we can write:
(1/4 meter) / (15 seconds) = (1 meter) / (x seconds)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
(1/4) * x = 15 * 1
x/4 = 15
x = 15 * 4
x = 60
Therefore, it will take Robot A 60 seconds to go 1 meter.
2) Similarly, to find how long it will take for Robot A to go 4 meters, we can set up another proportion using the given information. Since Robot A can go 1/4 meter in 15 seconds, we can write:
(1/4 meter) / (15 seconds) = (4 meters) / (x seconds)
Again, we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
(1/4) * x = 15 * 4
x/4 = 15 * 4
x = 15 * 4 * 4
x = 15 * 16
x = 240
Therefore, it will take Robot A 240 seconds to go 4 meters.
