Question

Andy runs 436.8 meters in 62.08 seconds.If Andy runs at a constant speed, how far does he run in one second?

Answer 1

Andy runs approximately 7.037 meters in one second, calculated by dividing the distance he runs by the time taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Andy runs 436.8 meters in 62.08 seconds at a constant speed, we can find the distance he runs in one second by dividing the total distance by the total time. The formula to calculate speed is speed = distance/time.

To find out how far he runs in one second, you divide:

distance in one second = 436.8 meters / 62.08 seconds = 7.037 meters/second (rounded to three decimal places).

So, if Andy runs at a constant speed, he covers approximately 7.037 meters every second.
