Question

You take a job at the Harbison shopping area in Columbia. If you average 66 feet per second as you commute to work and Harbison is 52 feet away from your home, how long does it take you to get to work every day?

a) 0.79 seconds
b) 0.78 seconds
c) 0.77 seconds
d) 0.76 seconds

Answer 1

To calculate the time it takes to get to work, divide the distance by the speed. In this case, the answer is approximately 0.79 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time it takes you to get to work every day, you first need to find the average speed at which you commute. The average speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

In this case, the distance from your home to Harbison is 52 feet, and you average 66 feet per second. So the time taken can be calculated as:

Time = Distance / Speed = 52 feet / 66 feet per second

Using a calculator, this gives you a time of approximately 0.79 seconds.

Therefore, the correct answer is option a) 0.79 seconds.
