Question

While Abbie is jogging, she moves forward 85 cm every second. How many seconds will Abbie take to jog 8.5 meters?

Thank you very much !!!!!! :D​

Answer 1

It will take Abbey 10 seconds to move 8.5 meters

Explanation:

100 cm makes one meter

So 85 cm=85/100

85 cm. = 0.85 meter

So Abbey travels 0.85 meters every second

One second= 0.85 meters

Let the unknown time be x

X= 8.5 meters/0.85

X= 10 seconds

It will take Abbey 10 seconds to move 8.5 meters
