Question

A man jogs 2.5 m/sec for 15 minutes. Calculate his distance. (1 min = 60 sec)

A) 225 m
B) 375 m
C) 2250 m
D) 3750 m"

Answer 1

To calculate the distance a man jogging at 2.5 m/s for 15 minutes covers, convert the time to seconds and then multiply by speed, resulting in a distance of 2250 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

A man jogs at a speed of 2.5 m/sec for 15 minutes. To calculate the distance he covers, we can use the formula distance = speed × time. First, we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds because the speed is given in meters per second (m/s). Since 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, 15 minutes is equal to 15 × 60 = 900 seconds.

Now, we can calculate the distance:

• Distance = Speed × Time
• Distance = 2.5 m/s × 900 s
• Distance = 2250 m

Therefore, the man covers a distance of 2250 meters.
