Question

Janice heard the final school bell, and 39 seconds later she was running at 2.4 meters per second toward her dad’s car. At this velocity, how long did it take Janice to run 180 meters?

Answer 1

75 seconds to run 180 meters

Explanation:

(180m) / (2.4m/s) = 75 seconds

75 seconds to run 180 meters, but if we take into consideration the initial 39 seconds, then the total time it took to run (75s + 39s) was 114 seconds.

The question didn't explicitly ask the total time it took, but the time it took to run 180 meters.
