Answer:
It takes the three toed sloth 1.2 hours to walk 1/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the three toed sloth can travel up to 1/6 mile in 1 hour, we need to find the time it will take the sloth to walk 1/5 mile.
Now, since 1/6 mile is travelled in 1 hour, then by proportionality,
1/6 mile = 1 hour
1/6 mile × 6 = 1 hour × 6
1 mile = 6 hours.
So for 1/5 mile, we multiply both sides by 1/5
1/5 × 1 mile = 1/5 × 6 hours
So, 1/5 mile = 6/5 hours
1/5 mile = 1.2 hours
So, it takes the three toed sloth 1.2 hours to walk 1/5 mile
