Question

Salam walks along a path surrounding a circular pond. The paths radius is 150 meters. Salam walks 75 meters per minute. About how long does it take Salam to walk around the path once.

Answer 1

The time it takes Salam to walk around the path once is 12 minutes 34 seconds

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circular pond, r = 150 m

speed of Salam, v = 75 m/min

A single distance round the circular path is given by;

d = 2πr

d = 2π(150)

d = 942.6 m

Time it takes Salam to walk around the path once, is given by;

time = distance / speed

time = 942.6 / 75

time = 12.568 minutes

time = 12 minutes 34 seconds

Therefore, the time it takes Salam to walk around the path once is 12 minutes 34 seconds
