Question

Naeem walks at a constant pace of 1.3 m/s and takes 5 minutes to get to school. Fina walks at 1.4 m/s and takes 15 minutes to get to school. What is the difference between the distances they walked?

Answer 1

870 meters

Explanation:

To find the difference between the distances they walked, we need to calculate the distance each person walked.

We can use the formula distance = speed x time.

Naeem's speed is 1.3 m/s and he took 5 minutes to get to school which is equal to 300 seconds. Therefore, Naeem walked a distance of:

distance = speed x time

distance = 1.3 m/s x 300 s

distance = 390 m

Fina's speed is 1.4 m/s and she took 15 minutes to get to school which is equal to 900 seconds. Therefore, Fina walked a distance of:

distance = speed x time

distance = 1.4 m/s x 900 s

distance = 1260 m

The difference between the distances they walked is:

1260 m - 390 m = 870 meters.
