Question

Lainey is sliding down a water slide that is 484 feet long at a rate of 44 feet per second. How long will it take Lainey to travel from the top to the bottom of the slide?

Answer 1

11 seconds.

Explanation:

Given:

Lainey is sliding down a water slide that is 484 feet long at a rate of 44 feet per second.

Question asked:

How long will it take Lainey to travel from the top to the bottom of the slide?

Solution:

Lainey is sliding down a water slide that is 484 feet long, we will assume it as distance traveled.

Lainey is sliding down a water slide at a rate of 44 feet per second, we will assume it as speed.

As here asking the time taken to travel from top to bottom, we will find it by using:-

`Speed=(Distance)/(Time) \\\\ Time=(Distance)/(Speed)`

`=(484)/(44) \\\\ =11\ seconds`

Therefore, it will take Lainey 11 seconds to travel from the top to the bottom of the slide.
