Question

Are you still going full speed was taking half of a minute to move half of a centimeter this rate how long would it take this long to travel a centimeter? And I have to get this done by tomorrow so plz help me

Answer 1

1 minute

Explanation:

First, we'll begin by calculating the speed. This is illustrated below:

Data obtained from the question include:

Speed = (1/2)cm / (1/2)min

Half a cm = 1/2 = 0.5cm

Half a minute = 1/2 = 0.5 min

Speed = 0.5cm/0.5min

Speed = 1cm/min

The next target is to obtain the time taken to travel a centimetre(1cm). This can be achieved as shown below:

Speed = 1cm/min

Distance = 1cm

Time =?

Speed = Distance /time

1 = 1/ time

Cross multiply to express in linear form

Time = 1 minute.

Therefore, it will take a minute to travel a centimetre
