Question

A kangaroo moves with a constant speed of 90 km/h for 20 m on a straight road. Calculate the distance traveled in this period of time​

Answer 1

We first apply the data to the problem.

Data:

• V = 90km/h
• T = 20min
• D = ?

Now, we convert the minutes to hours.

Conversion:

• T = 20 min • (1 hr / 60 min)
• T = 1/3 hr

Then, we apply the formula that is.

Formula:

• D = V • T

Finally we develop the problem.

Developing:

• D = (90km/h) • (1/3h)
• D = 30km

The distance traveled by the kangaroo is 30 kilometers.
