Question

A bear runs at 7m/s for 30 min how many miles did the bear run

Answer 1

`Distance = 7.83\ miles`

Explanation:

Given

`Speed = 7m/s`

`Time = 30\ min`

Required

Calculate the distance

The relationship between speed, time and distance is:

`Distance = Speed *Time`

Substitute values for Speed and Time

`Distance = 7m/s * 30\ min`

Convert minutes to seconds

`Distance = 7m/s * 30 * 60s`

`Distance = 7m/s * 1800s`

`Distance = 12600m`

Convert metres to miles

`Distance = 12600/1609\ miles`

`Distance = 7.83\ miles` --- Approximated
