Answer:

1.275 meters

rounded to 1 decimal place(s): 1.3 meters

rounded to 2 decimal place(s): 1.28 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for distance

d = speed x time

0.85 x 1.5 = 1.275

1.275 m

Answer: 1.275 m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Velocity is 0.85 m/s

Time is 1.5 s

The equation for distance is d=vt, so:

d=vt

d=(0.85)(1.5)

d=1.275 m
