What colour do they have?

Alice fell twenty minutes with speed equal three km/h and the book which she had dropped during travel fell five minutes with speed equal six km/h
How many times the distance that Alice has overcome more than the distance that book has overcome?(во сколько раз путь, который преодолела Алиса больше пути, который преодолела книга?)

let's solve these examples together
Example multiply-умножить
Five multiply five equal divide-разделить
twenty five equal- равно
2*4=8 6:6=1
8:2=4 7*2=14
4*5=20 8*6=48
5*3=15 9:3=3

Let's compare some things
Example
Alice is bigger than the table
Alice is less than the table

… is bigger than…
… is less than…

find the biggest and the smallest thing
…is the biggest
…is the smallest
