Final answer:
A car traveling at a constant speed of 60 km/h for 3 1/2 hours will cover a distance of 210,000 meters, which is option a).
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many meters a car traveling with a constant speed of 60 km/h can travel in 3 1/2 hours, we use the formula for distance: distance = speed × time.
First, convert the time from hours to seconds:
3 1/2 hours = 3.5 hours = 3.5 × 3600 seconds = 12600 seconds.
Then convert the speed from km/h to m/s:
60 km/h = 60 × (1000 meters / 1 kilometer) × (1 hour / 3600 seconds) = 16.67 m/s.
Multiply the speed by the time to get the distance:
distance = 16.67 m/s × 12600 s = 210,000 meters.
The answer is a) 210,000 meters.
