Zanaveya was testing a toy car on a ramp to see how far it would go. When she put it a third of the way up the ramp, it went 2 feet. When she put it at the top of the ramp, it went 5 times farther. How far did the car go this time?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The car goes 10 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Distance = 2ft[/tex]

[tex]New\ Distance = 5\ times\ farther[/tex]

Required

Determine the new distance

x times farther means x multiplied by the initial distance.

So:

5 times farther would be: 5 multiplied by the initial distance.

Hence,

[tex]New\ Distance = 5 * 2ft[/tex]

[tex]New\ Distance =10ft[/tex]

i.e. the car goes 10 ft
