Question

in 10 seconds, Jamal travels 550 feet on his bicycle. at this speed, how many feet can he travel in 1 minute? explain.

Answer 1

Answer: 3300 feet.

Explanation:

Given : In 10 seconds, Jamal travels 550 feet on his bicycle.

Use formula for speed ,

`\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}`

We get

`\text{Speed}=(550)/(10)=55 \text{ feet per second}`

For given time = 1 minute = 60 seconds

Use formula for distance,

`\text{Distance=Speed * Time}` ,we have

`\text{Distance}=55*60=3300\text{ feet}`

Hence, Required answer = 3300 feet.
