A three toed sloth can travel up to 1/6 mile in an hour how many hours would it take the sloth to walk 1/5 mile

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
