Question

How long will it take a car to travel 1818 meters at a speed of 18 m/s?

Answer 1

Remember that the speed is the ratio between a distance traveled and the time it takes to travel that distance:

`s=(d)/(t)`

Isolate t from the equation:

`t=(d)/(s)`

Substitute d=1818m and s=18 m/s to find the time that it will take for the car to travel that distance:

`t=(1818m)/(18m/s)=101s`

Therefore, the car will travel 1818 meters at a speed of 18m/s in 101 s.
