Question

Harriet had a remote control car every 4/15 of a second the remote control car travels 4/5 of a foot how many feet per second does the remote control car travel

Answer 1

3 ft/s

Explanation:

The rate or speed of the remote control car, v = distance/time

Now, the distance travelled by the remote control car = 4/5 of a foot = 4/5 × 1 ft = 4/5 ft and the time it takes to cover this distance is 4/15 of a second = 4/15 × 1 s = 4/15 s.

So, v = distance/time

= 4/5 ft ÷ 4/15 s

= 4/5 ft × 15/4 s

= 3 ft/s
