Question

A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 198 feet per second. What is this rate in meters per second? At this rate, how many meters will the parachutist fall during 5 seconds of free fall? In your computations, assume that 1 meter is equal to 3.3 feet. Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

300 feet

Explanation:

If we were using feet the expression would be 198x, where x is feet per second

Since they are asking in meters we need to convert feet to meters

When you do that you get 60

Now the expression is 60x

When you plug 5 into the equation it is 300
