And:
you can only use even digits and each digit only once. What is the least four digit number that is divisible by 24

Respuesta :

The Ostrich will take 64 minutes to cover 40 miles.

Data;

  • rate = 25 miles in 40 minute

Rate

To calculate the time it will take the ostrich to cover 40 miles, we have to compare it with the rate (speed).

[tex]25mi = 40 min\\40 mi = x min[/tex]

Cross multiply both sides

[tex]x * 25 =40 * 40[/tex]

simplify the value

[tex]x*25=40*40\\25x = 1600\\[/tex]

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

[tex]25x = 1600\\25x/25 = 1600/25\\x = 64[/tex]

From the calculations above, it would take the ostrich 64 minutes to cover 40 miles.
