Question

Mrs Watson runs a distance of 200 metres in 25 seconds work out the average speed of miss Watson in metres per second

Answer 1

8 meters per second. You get this by dividing the amount of meters by the amount of seconds. 200/25=8.

Answer 2

8metres per minutes

Explanation:

There is a general formula to solve this question which is

Average speed=distance/time

The SI unit can only be determined depending on the question given

So let's solve the question

Distance is 200metres

Time is 25 minutes

But since we are to leave our answer as meter per minute there's no need to convert so let's solve directly

Average speed=200/25

Average speed is 8metres per minutes

Therefore the final answer is 8metres per minutes
