Question

The speed of sound is 1088 feet per second at sea level at 32° f. write and solve an equation to find the distance sound travels in 8 seconds under these conditions.

Answer 1

It is given in the question that,

The speed of sound is 1088 feet per second at sea level at 32° f.

It means , in one second, sound travels a distance of 1088 feet.

And we have to find the distance travelled by sound after 8 seconds.

Therefore, after 8 seconds, the sound travels

$=1088* 8 feet = 8704 feet$
