Question

the distance traveled varies directly with the time of travel if the distance traveled is 220 meters in 40 seconds what is the distance traveled in 70 seconds

Answer 1

Given:

Distance travelled, d=220 meters.

Time, t=40 seconds.

The objective is to find the distance travelled in 70 seconds.

First, the speed has to be identified.

$\begin{gathered} \text{Speed}=\frac{Dis\tan ce}{Time} \\ s=\frac{220}{40} \\ s=5.5\text{ m/s.} \end{gathered}$

The distance travelled in 70 seconds can be calculates as,

$\begin{gathered} D\text{istance}=\text{Sped}\cdot\text{Time} \\ d=5.5\cdot70 \\ d=385\text{ meters} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the distance travelled in 70 seconds is 385 meters.
