Question

An object travels along a horizontal path at a constant rate.the object travels 1/20 of the length of the path in 3/4 second.at that rate,how many seconds does it take the object to travel the entire length of the path?

Answer 1

The onject 1/8 of the length of the path 3/4 in second.

Using the ratio and proportion to find the total time does it take the object to travel the entire length of the path as following

Length:time

X:(total time )

Total time x.(3/4)/(1/8x)=(3/4)/(1/8) = 6 seconds
