Answer:

The time taken to move distance of 280 feet at the speed of 1.75 feet per second is 160 seconds

Explanation:

Given as :

The speed of the moving walkway at an airport = s = 1.75 feet per second

The distance cover on the walkway = d = 280 feet

Let The time taken to move 280 feet = t sec

Now, According to question

Time =
(\textrm distance)/(\textrm speed)

t =
(\textrm d)/(\textrm s)

t =
(\textrm 280 feet)/(\textrm 1.75 ft per sec)

t = 160 seconds

So, The time taken to move distance of 280 feet at the speed of 1.75 feet per second = t = 160 seconds

Hence, The time taken to move distance of 280 feet at the speed of 1.75 feet per second is 160 seconds . Answer
