Answer:

5 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Set up a proportion.


(50)/(10) =
(x)/(1)

2) Solve the proportion.

x = 5 because 50 ÷ 10 is 5.

Answer:

50 m in 10 sec….divide 50 by 10 to convert to metres per second = 5 m/s. Then multiply by 3.6 (3600 seconds in an hour divided by 1000) to convert to kilometres per hour =18 m/s. To convert to mph divide by 1.609 =11.18 mph.
