Question

If you travel at 3 m/s for 12 seconds, how far did you travel?

Answer 1

V=3 m/s

t=12 seconds

S=?

S=V×t

S=3×12

S=36meters

So distance you travel is 36meters.

Answer 2

`\boxed {\tt 36 \ meters }`

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find how far was traveled, or the distance.

The formula for distance is:

`d=s*t`

where
`s` is the speed and
`t` is the time.

The speed is 3 meters per second and the time is 12 seconds.

`s= 3 \ m/s \\t= 12 \ s`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`d= 3 \ m/s * 12 \ s`

Multiply. Note that when multiply, the seconds, or
`s` will cancel.

`d= 3 \ m * 12`

`d= 36 \ m`

`d= 36 \ meters`

The distance traveled was 36 meters.
