Question

Sasha runs at a constant speed of 3.6 m/s for half hour. Then she walks at a rate of 1.6 m/s for half an hour how far did Sasha run and walk in 60 minutes

Answer 1

9360 meters

Explanation:

3.6 * 60 = 216 meters/minute

216 * 30 = 6480 meters in a half hour

1.6 * 60 = 96 meters/minute

96 * 30 = 2880 meters in a half hour

6480 + 2880 = 9360

Answer 2

Explanation:

Distance = speed × time

Sasha runs at a constant speed of 3.6 m/s for half hour. This means that the distance she covers while running would be

3.6 × 0.5 = 1.8 miles

Then she walks at a rate of 1.6 m/s for half an hour. This means that the distance she covers while walking would be

1.6 × 0.5 = 0.8 miles

Total distance that Sasha covered in running and walking for 60 minutes is

1.8 + 0.8 = 2.6 miles
