Question

A model boat travels at 20 cm per second.How many meters will the boat travel in 2 minutes

Answer 1

24m in two minutes. There are 120 seconds in 2 minutes. If we know that it moves 20cm every second, then we know that after 2 minutes it would have traveled 2400cm, if we convert that into m, we get 24m. Hope this helped :)

Answer 2

24 meters

Explanation:

distance = velocity x time

= 20 cm/sec x 1m/100cm x 60 sec/min x 2 min

= 24 meters.
