Question

A fleeing student covered a distance of 210 meters in 35 seconds. what is the student's speed in meters/second? what is the student's speed in meters/minute?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A student covered a distance of 210 meters in 35 seconds.

We need to find the student's speed in meters/second and also in meters/minute.

Speed, v = distance (d)/time (t)

So,

`v=(210\ m)/(35\ s)\\\\=6\ m/s`

We know that, 1 minute = 60 seconds

`6(m)/(s)=6* \frac{m}{((1)/(60))\ \text{minutes}}\\\\=360\ \text{meters/minutes}`

Hence, the student's speed is 6 m/s or 360 meters/minute.
