Based from the given distance traveled by sound and the time it takes for it to traverse the distance, the speed of sound can be computed by dividing the distance in meters with the time in seconds. In doing so, we have 6.9 m/0.0018 s. This results to a value of 3,833 m/s. Among the choices listed in the table, the most likely material is wood.
