Divide 500 by 400 and you'll get 1.25m/sec.

Hello!

What is the average speed of a walker who walks 500 m in 400 seconds

We have the following data:

a (average speed) = ? (in m/s)

d (distance) = 500 m

t (time) = 400 s

We apply the data to the average speed formula, see:


a = (d)/(t)


a = (500\:m)/(400\:s)


\boxed{\boxed{a = 1.25\:m/s}}\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

Answer:

The average speed is 1.25 m/s
