speed of 1010 m/s. How long does it take him to get to Houston?
Round to the hundredths place and include units.

Answer 1

Answer:
`358.42\ seconds`

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from Dallas to Houston is 362,000 meters:

`d=362,000\ m`

Tom drives with an average speed of:

`V=1,010\ (m)/(s)`

Then, knowing these values, you can use the following formula in order to find the time "t":

`t=(d)/(V)`

Therefore, substituting values into the formula, you get:

`t=(362,000\ m)/(1,010\ (m)/(s))\\\\t=358.415\ s`

Rounded to the the hundredths place:

`t=358.42\ s`
