Two toy robots are having a race. Robot A can go 14 meter in 15 seconds. Robot B can go 1 meter in 50 seconds.
1) If Robot A continues at that same speed, how long will it take to go 1 meter? Remember units! _________
2) How long for Robot A to go 4 meters at that speed? Remember units! _________

From your posting, data on robot B is unnecessary.
1) 14/15 = ?
2) 14/15 * 4 = ?
If the second one is a typo and you mean Robot B, 4 * 50 = ?

To find the answer to these questions, we need to use the given information about the distance and time for Robot A's speed.
1) We are given that Robot A can go 14 meters in 15 seconds. To find out how long it will take Robot A to go 1 meter, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the time in seconds to go 1 meter.
We can set up the following proportion:
14 meters / 15 seconds = 1 meter / x seconds
Now we can solve for x by cross-multiplying:
14 meters * x seconds = 1 meter * 15 seconds
Simplifying, we get:
14x = 15
Dividing both sides by 14, we get:
x = 15 / 14
So, Robot A will take 15/14 seconds to go 1 meter.
2) Now, to find out how long it will take Robot A to go 4 meters, we can again set up a proportion.
Let y be the time in seconds to go 4 meters.
We can set up the following proportion:
14 meters / 15 seconds = 4 meters / y seconds
Cross-multiplying, we get:
14 meters * y seconds = 4 meters * 15 seconds
Simplifying, we get:
14y = 60
Dividing both sides by 14, we get:
y = 60 / 14
So, Robot A will take 60/14 seconds to go 4 meters.
