Question

A scooter travels 30 feet in 2 seconds at a constant speed. b. Complete the double number line to show the distance the scooter travels after 1, 3, 4, and 5 seconds.

Answer 1

15 feets ; 45 feets ; 60 feets ; 75 feets

Explanation:

Given that:

Moving at a constant speed ; Distance traveled in 2 seconds = 30 feets

The traveling speed = distance / time

Traveling speed = 30 feets / 2 seconds

Traveling speed = 15 ft/s

Distance traveled = traveling speed * time

Distance traveled after 1 second :

Time = 1 second

15ft/s * 1s = 15 ft

Distance traveled after 3 second :

Time = 3 second

15ft/s * 3s = 45 ft

Distance traveled after 4 second :

Time = 4 second

15ft/s * 4s = 60 ft

Distance traveled after 5 second :

Time = 5 second

15ft/s * 5s = 75 ft
