Question

A penguin walks 10 feet in 6 seconds. At this speed: How far does the penguin walk in 1 second?​

Answer 1

5/3 ft

Explanation:

10 ft = 6s

x ft = 1s

cross multiply

10ft × 1s = 6s × x

{divide both sides by The coefficient of x (6x) }

(10 ft × s) ÷ 6s= x

10 ft ÷ 6 = x

5/3 ft = x

x = 5/3 ft

Answer 2

Answer: 1.67 feet in 1 second

Step-by-step explanation: To find out how far the penguin walked in 1 second, you’ll have to divide 10 by 6 or use the ratio 10 : 6 and divide. You should get a final answer or result of 1.67 feet in 1 second.

*Tip: If you want to make sure your answer is correct, simply multiply your answer times 6, and see if it equals to 10 or is near 10.
