Question

A wind-up toy car can travel 5 yards in about 3 minutes. If the car travels at a constant speed, then how many minutes will it takes to travel 40 meters? State your answer to the nearest minute.( 1 yard = 0.92 meters)

A) 20
B) 22
C) 24
D) 26

Answer 1

Answer: D

Explanation:

0.92 metres = 1 yard

40 metres = 43.5 yard
`((40 * 1)/(0.92))`

5 yards : 3 minutes

43.5 yards : 26.1 minutes
`((43.5*3)/(5))`

26.1 mins ≈ 26 mins
