An ant carries food at a speed of 1 cm/s. How long will it take the ant to carry a cookie crumb from the kitchen table to the ant hill, a distance of 50 m? Express your answer in seconds, minutes and hours.

5000 secs

speed=distance/time

time = distance/speed

Keep distance and speed in cm and cm/sec

Meters x 100 = cm

time

= 50 m X 100 / 1 = 5000 secs

= 5000/60 mins = 83 1/3 mins

1/3min = 20 sec.

So 83 1/3 mins

= 1 Hr 23 Min and 20 Secs

5,000 seconds 83 and 1/3 minutes 1.38 (and the 8 is repeated) house
