Question

My other dog, Beau, runs through the house dropping a line of slobber across

my 40 foot hallway. If he runs at a rate of 15 ftis, how long did it take him to mess

Answer 1

2.67 seconds

Explanation:

Distance covered by the dog = 40 ft

The rate at which the dog runs (speed) = 15 ft/s

But,

speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

So that,

time =
`(distance)/(speed)`

=
`(40)/(15)`

= 2
`(2)/(3)`

time = 2.6667 s

It would take the dog 2.67 s to mess.
