Question

in 10 seconds, Jamal travels 550 feet on his bicycle. at this speed, how many feet can he travel in 1 minute? explain.

Answer 1

The ratio 550 feet to 10 seconds is equivalent to 55 to 1 . Use the unit rate to calculate the distance Jamal can travel in 1 minute, or 60 seconds : 55 X 60 = 3,300 . Jamal can travel 3,300 feet in 1 minute .

Answer 2

Answer: 3300 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In 10 seconds, Jamal travels 550 feet on his bicycle.

Use formula for speed ,

$\text{Speed}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

We get

$\text{Speed}=\dfrac{550}{10}=55 \text{ feet per second}$

For given time = 1 minute = 60 seconds

Use formula for distance,

$\text{Distance=Speed * Time}$ ,we have

$\text{Distance}=55\times60=3300\text{ feet}$

Hence, Required answer = 3300 feet.
