Question

If you ride a bicycle 36 m in 12 seconds, what is your speed?O A. 0.3 m/sB. 2 m/sC. 3 m/sD. 0.09 m/s

Answer 1

We are given that the distance is 36 m and the time is 12 seconds.

We are asked to find the speed.

Recall that the time, speed, and distance formula is given by

`v=(x)/(t)`

Where v is the speed, x is the distance, and t is the time.

Let us substitute the given values into the above formula.

`\begin{gathered} v=(36)/(12) \\ v=3\; \; (m)/(s) \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the speed is 3 m/s

Option C is the correct answer.
