Answer: 800 meters

Explanation:

We first find the speed of Sheila by the speed equation, which is:

v =d/t

d is the total distance traveled

t is the total time taken

And so, we get:

v = 6000m/ 15min

= 400m/min

Now, we find the distance traveled in 2 minutes by solving for distance in the speed equation, which becomes:

d=v⋅t

Inputting our values, we get:

400m/min ⋅ 2min=800

Answer:

The answer is 1,200 meters

Explanation:

So what I did was find the rate so we want to know how much Sheila can do in just 1 minute first so you would have to do 6,000/ 15 which gives you 400 so he does 400 meters in just 1 minute. So then you would have to multiply 400 by 3 which gives you 1,200, making that your answer.

hope that helped!
