Question

during a canoe race, a camper paddles a distance of 406 meters in 70 seconds. what's the average speed of the race?

Answer 1

speed= distance/time
5.8 m/s=406/70

1km = 100m
1h= 3600s
(5.8m/s)(1km/100m)(3600s/1h)

Answer 2

Average speed of the racer is 5.8 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance covered by racer = D = 406 m

Total time taken racer= T = 70 seconds

The formula of an average speed is given by:

Average speed :

`=\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}=(D)/(T)`

Average speed of the racer is:

`=(406 m)/(70 seconds)=5.8 m/s`
