Question

If it takes Ashley 4.5 seconds to run at an average speed of 5.5 meters per second, what is the distance (in meters) she covers in that time? Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer 1

Given:

The average speed of Ashley is,

$v=5.5\text{ m/s}$

The time for which Ashley runs is,

$t=4.5\text{ s}$

The distance Ashley covers in this time are,

$\begin{gathered} d=vt \\ =5.5\times4.5 \\ =24.7\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the distance is 24.7 m.
