You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance an ant can travel on the ground varies directly with the amount of time it spends traveling. If an ant travels 7.5 m in 1.5 min, how far will the ant travel in 4 min?
-------
d = k*t
----
Solve for "k" based on "an ant travels 7.5 m in 1.5 min"::
7.5 = k*1.5
k = 5
-----
Equation:
d = 5t
how far will the ant travel in 4 min?
d = 5*4 = 20 minutes
