Please do show me how you solved it

Answer 1

Answer:

16.7s

2x10^1 s (if you need a 1 significant digit answer)

Explanation:

The formula for average velocity is

Vavg = Δd/Δt

Fill in the known values

6m/s = 100m/Δt

Rearrange the equation

Δt = 100m/6m/s

Δt = 16.7s

note: this answer assumes that the person travels at a constant 6m/s (the person does not slow down or speed up)
