Question

As Aubrey watches this merry-go-round for a total of 2 minutes, she notices the black horse pass by 15 times. What is the period of the black horse?

Answer 1

2 min = 120 sec

120/15 = 8

The black horse represents 8 seconds.

Answer 2

Answer:

8 seconds

Explanation:

The time taken by the merry go round to complete one round is called time period.

Number of rounds = 15

Time taken = 2 minutes = 2 x 60 = 120 second

15 rounds are completetd in 120 seconds

1 round completed in 120 / 15 = 8 seconds

So, the time period is 8 seconds.
