Question

Ashley walks from building II at a constant speed of 1.3 m/s. It takes her 2 minutes to get to building II from building I. What is the distance between the two buildings?

A) 1300 m
B) 1560 m
C) 156 m
D) 2600 m

Answer 1

The distance between the two buildings is 156 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between the two buildings, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed x Time

Since Ashley walks at a constant speed of 1.3 m/s, we can convert the time taken from minutes to seconds. 2 minutes is equal to 2 x 60 = 120 seconds. Hence, the distance between the two buildings is:

Distance = 1.3 m/s x 120 s = 156 m

Therefore, the correct answer is option C) 156 m.
