Answer:

Moving walkway will take 150 seconds to transport you 270 feet .

Explanation:

Formula


Speed = (Distance)/(Time)

As given

A moving walkway at the airport moves at a pace of 1.8 feet per second.

Speed = 1.8 feet per second

Distance = 270 feet

Putting all the values in the formula


1.8= (270)/(Time)

Time = 1.8 × 270

Time = 150 seconds

Therefore moving walkway will take 150 seconds to transport you 270 feet .
