Question

8. A jaguar runs 4200 meters at the speed of 400 meters per minute. How
much time did this take? (You can use the speed triangle if it helps! Write
the formula, plug in the numbers, and write the answer with a box around it

Answer 1

Answer:

10.5min

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance  = 4200m

Speed  = 400m/min

Unknown:

Time taken for this run  = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken.

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

  Time  = $\frac{distance}{speed }$  

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

 Time  = $\frac{4200}{400}$   = 10.5min
