Answer:

2.16 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find distance using the following formula.


d=s*t

where
s is the speed and
t is the time.

The speed of the watermelon seed is 1.8 meters per second. The time is 1.2 seconds.


s= 1.8 m/s\\t=1.2 s

Substitute the values into the formula.


d= 1.8 m/s * 1.2 s

Multiply. When you multiply the 2 "s" that represent seconds will cancel out.


d= 1.8 m * 1.2


d=2.16 m

The watermelon seed with travel 2.16 meters in 1.2 seconds.
