Question

An elevator travels 310 feet in 10 seconds at this that spewd how far can this elevator travel In 12 sec?


you can simply solve with an equation

(310 feet in 10 seconds = unknow feet : 12 seconds)

310 : 10 = x : 12

x = 310 * 12 : 10

x = 372 feet

Distance covered by an elevator = 310 feet.

Time taken to cover 310 feet = 10 seconds.

The rate of the elevator at its run = 310/10 = 31 feet per seconds.

We're trying to find at how many feet an elevator can travel in 12 seconds.

In order to find the distance covered by an elevator in 12 seconds, we need to multiply 12 by the rate of the elevator.

Thus, distance covered by the elevator in 12 seconds = 12 × 31

= 372 feet.
