Answer:
53.2 m/min
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not sure if (15 seconds = minute) is part of the question.
Because 15 seconds is not minute. 60 seconds is in a minute
if (15 seconds = minute) then the answer's just 13.3 m/min?? That makes no sense
so assuming 60seconds = min
13.3/15s * 60s/min would be 13.3*4 = 53.2
Other way to think about this is to say to yourself if elephant moved 13.3 meter in 15 seconds how many meter would they go in 1 minute(which would be 4x longer).
Answer:
53.2 meters
Step-by-step Explanation:
If an elephant charged 13.3 meters in 15 seconds, to calculate the distance charged by the elephant in one minute we do the following:
15 seconds by 13.3 meters and 1 minute (60 seconds) by x
Note: Why x and why set up this way? We need to figure out how far it traveled in 1 min aka 60 seconds, so if we set up what we know (16 by 13.3) we can cross multiply to figure out the ratio and get our answer :D
also written as:
[tex]\frac{15}{13.5} = \frac{60 [1 min]}{x}[/tex]
(time on top and distance on bottom!)
Cross multiply:
15 * x = 13.3 * 60
15x = 798
Divide both sides by 15
5x/15 = 798/15
x = 53.2 meters
So the elephant will charge 53.2 meters for 1 minute!
Hope this helps, have a nice day! :D
