Question

A sloth moves 5 meters in 2 minutes.

a. what is the average speed of the sloth in meters per minute
b. what is the average speed of the sloth in meters per hour

Answer 1

2.5 meters per minute
150 meters per hour

Answer 2

A. 5 ÷ 2 = 2.5

Therefore, a sloth moves at a rate of 2.5 meters per minute

B. To find how many meters a sloth moves in an hour, all we need to do is multiply the rate per minute (2.5) by an hour (60 minutes)

2.5 x 60 = 150

Therefore, a sloth moves 150 meters per hour

Hope this helps
