Question

In a rubber duck race, the winning duck traveled 300 meters in 10 minutes. What was the

duck's average speed?
O
0.5 m/s
1.0 m/s
7.5 m/s
30 m/s

Answer 1

0.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the average speed of the winning duck, we can use the formula:

Average speed = distance ÷ time

In this case, the distance traveled by the duck was 300 meters, and the time taken was 10 minutes, or 600 seconds. So we have:

Average speed = 300 meters ÷ 600 seconds

Average speed = 0.5 meters/second

Therefore, the average speed of the winning duck was 0.5 m/s.

So the answer is option O, which is 0.5 m/s.
