Rodolfo and Aarron are having a turtle race. Rodolfo's turtle reached the finish line, while Aarron's turtle crawled 4/6 out of the way, and then stopped for a nap. Show the turtle's finishing positions on a number line. How much farther did Aarron's turtle have to go to finish?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) See attachment for number line

(b) 1/3 of the total distance is left

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let A represent Aarron's turtle and R represents Rodolfo's turtle.

From the question

[tex]A = \frac{4}{6}[/tex] --- Position

R = Finished the race

Solving (a): Number line showing their positions

Because R finished the race, its position will be at the end of the number line

While

A's position will be at 4/6th position

Let the interval of the number line be 6.

[tex]A = \frac{4}{6} * 6[/tex]

[tex]A = 4[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{6}{6} *6[/tex]

[tex]R = 6[/tex]

See attachment for number line

Solving (b): What's left of A's distance

The distance left will be calculated using

[tex]Distance = 1 - \frac{4}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Distance = \frac{6 - 4}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Distance = \frac{2}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Distance = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Hence, 1/3 of the total distance is left

Answer:

It is turtle time! Time for the annual school turtle race. Maria and Sally have a plan to win. For two days they have not fed their turtle. They are hoping that the turtle will win the race because of response to stimuli, something they learned about in science class. What do you think the girls will be holding out at the finish line?
