A caterpillar moves across the grass at a rate of 4 2/3 feet every 7 minutes. How fast does the caterpillar move in feet per minute? ​

Sagot :

Given:

A caterpillar moves across the grass at a rate of [tex]4\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] feet every 7 minutes.

To find:

The rate of moving caterpillar in feet per minute.

Solution:

We have,

Distance covered by caterpillar is 7 minutes = [tex]4\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] feet

Distance covered by caterpillar is 1 minutes = [tex]\dfrac{4\dfrac{2}{3}}{7}[/tex] feet

                                                                        = [tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{4(3)+2}{3}}{7}[/tex] feet

                                                                        = [tex]\dfrac{14}{3\times 7}[/tex] feet

                                                                        = [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] feet

Therefore, caterpillar move [tex]\dfrac{2}{3}[/tex] feet per minute.
