Question

After 3/4 of a minute a sloth has moved just 3/8 of a foot. What is the sloths speed in feet per minute?

Answer 1

0.5=4/8 a minute multiply 3/4 by 3/8 and convert the answer to a decimal and get 0.5

Answer 2

so so what should we multiply 3/4 by to get one? we can multiply it by 4/3. so we multiply 3/4 by 4/3 and multiply 3/8 by 4/3. so thats 12/24. which is the same as 1/2. so the sloth moves 1/2 of a foot a minute
