Question

Elena went 60 meters in 15 seconds Noah went 50 meters in 10 seconds Elena and Noah both moved at a constant speed .how far did Elena go in 1 second

Answer 1

I believe it would be 4 meters in one second

Explanation:

I think this because you would divide meters by time.

Answer 2

4 meters

Explanation:

About Elena we know that she moves at 60 meters each 15 seconds:

Distance Time

60m → 15s

and we want to know how far she would go in only 1 second:

Distance Time

60m → 15s

x → 1s

where x is the unknown distance, that we calculate as follows: multiply the cross quantities in the table and divide by the other number in the corner.

`x=(60*1)/(15) =4`

In one second she will travel 4 meters.
