Question

A child is pushing a shopping cart at a speed of 1 5m/s. How far will the child travel in 6.2

seconds?

Answer 1

9.3 meters (to 2 sig figs)

Explanation:

The child's rate is 1.5 m/s. If we multiply the rate times the time (in seconds), the seconds will cancel, leaving just meters (m).

(1.5 m/s)*(6.2 s) = 9.3 meters (to 2 sig figs)
