Question

An elevator travels 310 feet in 10 seconds. At that speed, how far can this elevator travel in 12 seconds? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

372 ft

Explanation:

feet over time

310/10

simplify it

31/1= 31 feet per second

multiply 31 and 12

you should get 372

You should be able to explain this with the answer.

Answer 2

First you need to figure out how many feet he went each second so 310/10=31 so since 10-12=2 you need to figure out two more so 31 +31 is 62 and 62+310= 372
The final answer would be : he went 372 feet in 12 seconds
