A truck carrying 1000 apples loses an apple each 10 metres it travels.
How many apples will be left after it travels 600 metres?
Well, that depends on how hungry the road is! But if we assume the road is feeling very peckish, then after traveling 600 meters, the truck will have lost 60 apples and still have 940 apples left. Think of it as a road toll, but in apples!
To find out how many apples will be left after the truck travels 600 meters, we need to divide the distance traveled by the distance it takes for each apple to fall off.
The truck loses an apple for every 10 meters it travels.
So, to find out how many apples will be left after 600 meters, we divide 600 by 10:
600 / 10 = 60
Therefore, there will be 60 apples left after the truck travels 600 meters.
To find out how many apples will be left after the truck travels 600 meters, we need to figure out how many apples are lost per meter and then multiply that by 600.
First, let's determine how many apples are lost per meter. We know that the truck loses one apple every 10 meters. So, the rate at which apples are lost is 1 apple per 10 meters. We can represent this as a fraction: 1 apple / 10 meters.
To find out how many apples are lost per meter, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10. This gives us: 1/10 apple per meter.
Now that we know the rate of apple loss per meter, we can calculate the number of apples lost after traveling 600 meters. To do this, we multiply the rate of apple loss per meter (1/10 apple per meter) by the distance traveled (600 meters).
(1/10 apple per meter) * 600 meters = 60 apples lost.
Since we started with 1000 apples, to find the number of apples remaining, we subtract the number of apples lost (60) from the total number of apples (1000):
1000 apples - 60 apples = 940 apples.
Therefore, after traveling 600 meters, there will be 940 apples left in the truck.
