Question

9. An object travels along a horizontal straight path at a constant rate. The object travels of the length

of the path in second. At that rate, how many seconds does it take the object to travel the entire
length of the path?

Answer 1

6 seconds

======================================================

Explanation:

let the entire length of path x

The object travels (1/8) of the length of the path (3/4) in second.

using the ratio and proportion to find the total time does it take the object to travel the entire length of the path as following

Length : time

1/8 x : 3/4 sec.

x : (total time)

using scissors metod

Total time = x * (3/4) / ( 1/8 x) = (3/4) / (1/8) = 6 seconds
