Question

An ant travels at a constant rate of 30 cm every 2 minutes at what pace does the Ant travel per centimeters

Answer 1

2mins=120seconds
30cm in 2mins means
$30 \div 120 = 4$
this means that the ant moves 1 cm in 4seconds.

Answer 2

Answer:

The pace of ant would be $\frac{1}{15}$ per centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

An ant travels at a constant rate of 30 cm every 2 minutes.

We can find the speed of ant

$\text{Speed}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Sped of ant = $\frac{30}{2}=15$ cm/min

Speed of ant is 15 cm/min.

We can say,

Ant cover 15 cm in 1 minutes.

We need to find the pace, We will find what time to take cover 1 cm

15 cm covers = 1 min

1 cm covers = $\frac{1}{15}$ min

The pace of ant would be $\frac{1}{15}\approx 0.0667$ per centimeters
