Question

Anna is driving to the grocery store in her car. She is traveling at 40 m/s and it takes her 170 s to get there. How far does she go? (include units)

A) 6800 meters
B) 680 meters
C) 68000 meters
D) 68 meters

Answer 1

The distance Anna travels to the grocery store is calculated by multiplying her speed (40 m/s) by the time taken (170 s), resulting in 6800 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance Anna goes to the grocery store, we use the formula for distance which is speed multiplied by time. The speed Anna is traveling at is 40 m/s, and the time it takes her is 170 s. By multiplying these two values, we can determine the distance traveled:

Distance = Speed × Time = 40 m/s × 170 s = 6800 meters.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) 6800 meters.
