Final answer:
Layne took 127 seconds to run a distance of 560 meters at a speed of 4.4 meters per second. We calculated this by dividing the distance by the speed and rounding down to the nearest whole second. The correct answer is option B) 127 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how long it took Layne to run a distance of 560 meters at a speed of 4.4 meters per second, we need to use the formula for time which is:
Time = Distance ÷ Speed
We have:
- Distance (d) = 560 meters
- Speed (v) = 4.4 meters/second
Plugging these values into the formula gives us:
Time = 560 m ÷ 4.4 m/s = 127.27 seconds
Since we cannot have a fraction of a second in the options provided, we round down to the nearest whole second. Therefore, Layne took 127 seconds to travel the distance.
The correct answer is B) 127 seconds.
