Question

baptist walked 420 m in 17.5 min. what is his average speed in m/min? What is his average speed in m/s? (Hint: There are 60 s in 1 min.)

Answer 1

Average speed is 24 m/min

in another unit is is 0.4 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the average speed is the ratio of total distance covered and total time

so here we know that total distance moved by the baptist is

`d = 420 m`

total time taken by it is given as

`t = 17.5 min`

so average speed is given as

`v = (d)/(t)`

`v = (420)/(17.5) m/min`

`v = 24 m/min`

now we have to find the speed in m/s unit also

so we have

`v = (24)/(60) m/s`

`v = 0.4 m/s`
