Answer: 55m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Driving speed = 90km/hr

Inattentive period (time) = 2.2s

Distance during inattentive period =

(driving speed * time)

Converting driving speed from km/hr to m/s

1000m = 1km

3600s = 1hour

Therefore,

90km/hr = (90 * 1000) / 3600

90km/hr = (90000)/ 3600 = 25m/s

Therefore ;

Distance during inattentive period =

(driving speed * time)

Distance during inattentive period = (25m/s × 2.2s) = 55m

Distance traveled during inattentive period is 55m
