Question

postal worker on a bicycle travels at an average speed of 4m/s for 3 minutes. Work out how far she travelled.

Answer 1

The postal worker traveled 720 meters.

Answer 2

Distance, d = 720 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Average speed of the bicycle, s = 4 m/s

Time taken, t = 3 minutes = 180 seconds

We have to find the distance travelled by the postal worker. Distance travelled is equal to the product of velocity and time. Mathematically, it can be written as :

d = s × t

d = 4 m/s × 180 s

d = 720 m

Hence, the distance travelled by the postal worker is 720 m.
