Question

Madison ran at a uniform speed for 50 minutes. She covered 9 kilometers during that time.

Find her speed in meters per second.

*Note that you will need to convert your minutes and kilometers to seconds and meters*

Her speed was ? meters/sec.

Answer 1

Answer: 3m / s

Explanation:

Distance covered= 9km

Time Taken= 50 min

First convert km to m, i.e 9km = 9000m

Time in seconds= 50m x 60s = 3000s

9000 m / 3000s

further simplified by taking out the zero's

9m/ 3s

which is divisible by 3 i.e.

3m / s
