a train travel 70 feet in 1/10 seconds at the same speed how many feet will it travel in 3 /12 seconds?
70/0.1 = x/0.25
Cross multiply and solve for x.
To find out how many feet the train will travel in 3/12 seconds, we can use the concept of proportionality.
Let's set up a proportion:
70 feet / (1/10 seconds) = x feet / (3/12 seconds)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
70 * (3/12) = x * (1/10)
Simplifying:
70 * 3 = x * 1
210 = x
Therefore, the train will travel 210 feet in 3/12 seconds.
To find out how many feet the train will travel in 3/12 (or 1/4) seconds, you can use the concept of proportions.
Given that the train travels 70 feet in 1/10 seconds, we can set up the proportion:
70 feet / (1/10 seconds) = x feet / (1/4 seconds)
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
(70 feet) * (1/4 seconds) = (x feet) * (1/10 seconds)
Simplifying the expression on both sides:
70/4 = x/10
Multiplying both sides by 10:
(70/4) * 10 = x
Simplifying further:
(70/4) * (10/1) = x
350/2 = x
175 = x
Therefore, the train will travel 175 feet in 3/12 (or 1/4) seconds.
