The fabric shop is 50 feet from her house. To walk to the shop and come home it will take Kitty 20 minutes.
How fast is Kitty traveling? 50ft there 50ft back Kitty’s House 50 feet Fabric Shop 10 minutes 50ft + 50ft= 100ft roundtrip Kitty has to travel 100 feet all together. We know it takes Kitty 20 minutes to walk to the fabric shop and back.
50ft, 10 min 50ft, 10 min Kitty’s House 50 feet Fabric Shop 10 minutes 100 ft ÷ 20 min = 5 feet / minute We can also say it would take kitty 10 minutes each way. Kitty is traveling at a rate of 5 feet per minute.
When Kitty arrived at the fabric shop she asked Charisma, the salesunicorn, for 12 inches of fabric. Oh No!The fabric only comes in feet!
How many feet of fabric does Kitty need if she wants 12 inches? There are 12 inches in a foot Therefore Kitty needs 1 foot of fabric!
Half of the way home Kitty gets a phone call. Oh No! Kitty forgot her friend, Pepper, was coming over!
From the half way point Kitty runs home twice as fast! How long did it take kitty to get from the fabric shop to her house?
It had already taken kitty 5 minutes to get to the half way point. | | 2 1/2 min 5 min The rest of the trip was only 25 feet. Because Kitty was going twice as fast as 5 minutes per 25 feet, it took Kitty only 2 and a half minutes to get the rest of the way home. It took Kitty 5 minutes + 2 and a half minutes to get home. She got home in 7 and a half minutes
When Kitty gets home Pepper is waiting for her with…. a surprise!!
