• A. 5
• B. 6
• C. 7

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

6

Burgy wants to cover a total distance of 30 units with smaller jump of 5 units length each.

$\text{Required number of jumps}=\frac{\text{Total distance}}{\text{Each jump length}}=\frac{30}{5}$

Let's solve 30 $÷$ 5 using number line

Here the dividend is 30.
So, Burgy starts from 30 and jumps toward the left to reach 0.
Divisor = 5
$\therefore$ Each hop has a length of 5 units.


Hence, he needs to make 6 jumps of 5 units each to cover the required distance.
