Question

During her morning walk, Nina walks \(420\) steps in \(6\) minutes. Calculate the number of steps she walks in one minute.

Answer 1

Total number of steps Nina takes \(= 420\)
Time taken =\( 6\) mins

Number of steps she takes in \(1\) minute = total number of steps \(\div\) time taken

\(=420 \div6\)

Since, \(6 \times 7 = 42\), we can divide \(42\) by \(6\) and put a zero at the end of the quotient. Hence, \(420\div 6 = 70\).

Let’s divide the numbers using the long division method.


Hence, Nina walks \(70\) steps in \(1\) minute.
