Answer 1

Amanda was able to run 31.5 meters in 3 seconds at a speed of 10.5 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how far Amanda was able to run if it takes her 3 seconds to run from the batter's box to first base at a rate of 10.5 meters per second. To find the distance, we need to use the formula for distance, which is distance = speed × time. In this case, Amanda's speed is 10.5 meters per second, and the time is 3 seconds.

Distance = Speed × Time = 10.5 m/s × 3 s = 31.5 meters.

Therefore, Amanda was able to get 31.5 meters in that time.
