The student is asking about the speed of an ant that crawls a certain distance in a given amount of time.
If an ant crawls 1 meter in 25 seconds, we can calculate the ant's speed by using the formula for speed:
speed = distance ÷ time .
Here, the distance is 1 meter and the time is 25 seconds.
To find the speed, we divide 1 meter by 25 seconds, which gives us 0.04 meters per second (m/s).
Therefore, the speed of the ant is 0.04 m/s.

The ant's speed is calculated to be 0.04 meters per second by dividing the distance of 1 meter by the time of 25 seconds. This shows how speed can be determined using the basic formula of speed = distance/time.
