After 3/4 of a minute a sloth has moved just 3/8 of a foot. what is the sloths speed in feet per minute? ?

We multiply both fractions by 4 so that we are working in whole numbers and get:

3 minutes(min) for 12/8 feet then we simplify 12/8 to 1.5 and have:

1.5 feet per 3 min divide both by 3 to get:

1/2 foot per minute or  .5 ft/min

If you need an equation, it would be y=2x+8, y would be how long it grew, x being weeks.if you need how long he was asleep, it would be 4 weeks if he started with no beard, the equation would be x=8÷2if he did have a beard before hand, the equation would be 2w+x=8
