Question

The total distance in centimeters a toy robot moves varies directly with the time in seconds. The toyrobot moves a total distance of 264 centimeters in 11 seconds,What is the time in seconds the toy robot moves when the total distance is 408 centimeters?24 817 so 13 s537 s

Answer 1

We know that

The toy robot moves a total distance of 264 centimeters in 11 seconds.

To know the time in seconds for 480 centimeters, we can form the following proportion.

We solve the expression for t.

`t=(408\cdot11)/(264)\sec =(4,488)/(264)\sec =17\sec`

Therefore, the toy robot moves 408 centimeters in 17 seconds. The right choice is the second one.
