Question

Ethan decides that he wants to crawl to class. The two classes are 40

feet apart. Passing period lasts 240 seconds. What would Ethan's
average speed be if he took all 240 seconds?

Answer 1

1/6 feet/second

Explanation:

The total feet traveled would be 40 feet. The seconds would be 240 giving 40/240 feet/second. Simplify this by dividing 40 by 240 giving an answer of 1/6. This makes the average speed 1/6 feet/second. Alternatly it would be 10 feet/minute
