Question

A cat walked 8.4 m in 4.4 seconds. How fast did it walk?

(A) 1.91 m/s
(B) 33.6 m/s
(C) 12.6 m/s
(D) 3.8 m/s

Answer 1

The average speed of a cat that walked 8.4 meters in 4.4 seconds is calculated using the formula speed = distance / time, resulting in an average speed of approximately 1.91 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the average speed of a cat that walked 8.4 meters in 4.4 seconds. The formula to calculate average speed is speed = distance / time. Therefore, the cat's average speed is 8.4 m / 4.4 s = 1.9091 m/s. When we round to two decimal places, the answer is approximately 1.91 m/s, which corresponds to option (A).
