Answer:
The winner uses 21 seconds to finish the race.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Time taken by Rocky to finish the race = 5/12 of a minute
Time taken by the winner to finish the race = 21/25 of Rocky's time
We need to find the actual time taken by the winner to finish the race.
Step 2 :
5/12 of a minute = 5/12 × 60 = 25 seconds
Hence Rocky takes 25 seconds to finish the race.
Since the winner takes [tex]\frac{21}{25}[/tex] of Rocky's time to finish the race,
the actual time taken by the winner is [tex]\frac{21}{25}[/tex] × 25 = 21 seconds
Step 3 :
The winner uses 21 seconds to finish the race.
The winner took 21 seconds to finish the race.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
First, we need to determine how long it took Rocky to finish the race. We need to calculate how much [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] of a minute is.
We multiply the given fraction with the number of seconds in a minute to find out how long it took for Rocky.
The number of seconds in [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] of a minute = [tex]\frac{5}{12} (60) = 25[/tex].
It took Rocky 25 seconds to finish the race.
Step 2:
The winner of the race finished in [tex]\frac{21}{25}[/tex] of Rocky's time.
We need to calculate how much [tex]\frac{21}{25}[/tex] of Rocky's time is.
We multiply the fraction with Rocky's time.
The number of seconds in [tex]\frac{21}{25}[/tex] of Rocky's time = [tex]\frac{21}{25} (25) = 21.[/tex]
So the winner took 21 seconds to finish the race.
