Question

The equation for distance is d = st. if a car has speed of 20 m/s how long will it take to go 155 m?

Answer 1

7.75 = t or time

To find this, set up an equation using the given equation:

155 = 20(t)

First divide by 20 on both sides to cancel out the 20 on the right side of the equation and to simplify the left side. This leaves you with this:

7.75 = t

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

t = 7.75 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Speed of the car, s = 20 m/s

Distance covered by the car, d = 155 meters

Let t is the time taken by the person to go 155 meters. We can use to following equation of find t i.e.

`d=s* t`

`t=(d)/(s)`

Substituting all the values in above formula as:

`t=(155\ m)/(20\ m/s)`

t = 7.75 seconds

So, the time taken by the car is 7.75 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
