Question

a car traveling at a certain speed will travel 87 feet per second. how many yards will the car travel in 90 seconds if it maintains that same speed?

Answer 1

2610 yards

Explanation:

The speed of car is

87 feet per seconds

We are required to find the distance traveled in 90 seconds in yards

LEt us fist evaluate the distance traveled in 90 seconds in Feet

Distance = speed x time

Speed =- 87 feet per second

time = 90 seconds

Distance = 87 x 90 = 7830 feet

Now we convert it into yards

3 feet = 1 yard

1 feet = 1/3 yards

Hence 7830 feet = 1/3 times 7830 yards

= 2610 yards
