Question

If you walk at 0.7 m/s, how long would it take to walk a mile which is 1609 m

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf t = 2298.57\ secs}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed = v = 0.7 m/s

Distance = S = 1 mile = 1609 metre

Required:

Time = t = ?

Formula :

v = S/t

Solution:

v = S/t

t = S/v

t = 1609 / 0.7

t = 2298.57 secs

Answer 2

`\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{2298.57 \ seconds}}`

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\displaystyle \sf Speed = (Distance \ covered )/(Time \ taken)`

`\displaystyle \sf s = (d )/(t)`

The speed is 0.7 m/s.

The distance covered is 1609 m.

`\displaystyle \sf 0.7 = (1609 )/(t)`

Multiplying both sides by t.

Then dividing both sides by 0.7.

`\displaystyle \sf t = (1609 )/(0.7)`

`\sf t= 2298.57`

It would take 2298.57 seconds.
