A sloth travels 9ft in 1minute and 3 seconds. How much will it travel per minute

1 answer

To find how much the sloth will travel per minute, we need to convert the total time it traveled to minutes.

The given time the sloth traveled is 1 minute and 3 seconds.

To convert the seconds to minutes, we divide by 60 (since there are 60 seconds in a minute): 3 seconds / 60 seconds/minute = 0.05 minutes

So the total time the sloth traveled is 1 minute + 0.05 minutes = 1.05 minutes

Now we can calculate the distance the sloth will travel per minute by dividing the distance it traveled by the total time:

9 ft / 1.05 minutes = 8.57142857 ft/minute

Therefore, the sloth will travel approximately 8.57 feet per minute.
