Question

Diego left the ticket booth at the same time as Tyler. Diego jogged ahead at a steady pace and reached the bumper cars in 30 seconds. Diego's Time (seconds) and Diego's Distance (meters) are given. What is Diego's speed?

A) 1/30m/s
B) 1/15m/s
C) 1/10 m/s
D1/5 m/s

Answer 1

To calculate Diego's speed, divide the distance he jogged by the time taken (30 seconds), but the specific distance is not provided in the question, making it impossible to select the correct answer from the options given.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Diego's speed, we need to use the formula for speed which is distance divided by time. However, the problem does not provide the specific distance Diego has jogged. Assuming the missing distance is provided in the original question, we would divide that distance by the time taken, which is 30 seconds, to find Diego's speed in meters per second (m/s).

For example, if Diego jogged a distance of 6 meters in 30 seconds, then his speed would be calculated as follows:

• Speed = distance ÷ time
• Speed = 6 m ÷ 30 s
• Speed = 0.2 m/s

Therefore, in this example, Diego's speed would be 0.2 m/s, which is not one of the provided options (A) 1/30 m/s, (B) 1/15 m/s, (C) 1/10 m/s, (D) 1/5 m/s.

Since the specific distance is not given in the question, we cannot determine the correct answer from the given options.
