Question

Kangaroos have been clocked at speeds of 18 m/s. How far can a kangaroo hop in 192 sec at this speed?

Answer 1

`\bf \underline{ \underline{given : }}`

• Speed of kangaroo = 18 m/s

• Time taken by a kangaroo = 192 sec

`\bf \underline{ \underline{to \: be \: calculated : }}`

Calculate the distance covered by a kangaroo.

`\bf \underline{ \underline{formula \: applied : }}`

`\boxed{ \bf{Speed = (Distance)/(Time) }}`

`\bf \underline{ \underline{Solution : }}`

We know that,

Speed = Distance/Time

=> Distance = Speed × Time

Substituting the values in the above formula,we get;

=> Distance = 18 × 192

=> Distance = 3456 m

Thus,the distance covered by a kangaroo is 3456 meters.
