Question

A car is driving at 80 kilometers per hour. How far, in meters, does it travel in 3 seconds?

Answer 1

It travels 3,600 meters in 3 seconds.

Explanation:

90 kilometers an hour is 90 thousand meters per hour.

there are 60 mins in one hour, and 60 seconds in each minute, or 3,600 seconds in one hour.

So in 1 second, the car travels 90,000 meters, or 3,600 seconds.

In 2 seconds, it travels twice that.

2 x 90,000 = 50 meters

-

3,600 meters!

Answer 2

distance = 66.6667 meters
