Answer: time = 1.42 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating time is expressed as

time = distance/speed

From the information given,

distance of person from cliff = 245

total distance travelled by echo in returning = 245 x 2 = 490

speed of sound = 344 m/s

Thus,

time = 490/344

time = 1.42 seconds
