Final answer:
A horse traveling at 5.5 m/s would travel 2079 meters in 6.3 minutes, after converting minutes to seconds and using the formula for distance traveled at constant speed.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate how far a horse traveling at 5.5 m/s would go in 6.3 minutes, we first need to convert minutes into seconds, because the speed is given in meters per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so we multiply 6.3 minutes by 60 to get the time in seconds:
- 6.3 minutes × 60 seconds/minute = 378 seconds
Next, we use the formula distance = speed × time to calculate the distance travelled by the horse:
- Distance = 5.5 m/s × 378 s
We perform the multiplication to find the total distance:
Therefore, the horse would travel 2079 meters in 6.3 minutes.
