Question

Jared rode his skateboard 4,800meters southwest, from his house to Linda's house. It took him 8minutes to skate one-quarter of the way to her house at a constant velocity. What was his velocity?

Answer 1

Answer:

10m/s

Explanation:

Use the formula:

$velocity = \frac{distance}{time}$

You need to convert minutes into seconds:

$velocity = \frac{4800 meters}{8 minutes}$

$velocity = \frac{4800 meters}{480 seconds}$
