Question

A downhill skier was able to move 560 meters in 25 seconds. What is the skier’s average speed? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter per second.)

Answer 1

Answer: 22.4 m/s

Explanation:

We know that he moved 560 meters in 25 s, so, the equation would be 560 meters ÷ 25 s = 22.4 m/s.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 2

Average speed is the total distance traveled by an object at a certain period of time. To calculate for the average speed we divide the total distance covered by the total time. We do as follows:

Average speed = 560 meters / 25 seconds = 22.4 m/s
