Question

2. How far can a dog travel if he can travel at 2.5 m/s for 5 seconds?

Answer 1

`\boxed {\tt 12.5 \ meters}`

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find how far the dog can travel, or the distance.

Distance can be found by multiplying the speed and the time.

`d=s*t`

The dog travels 2.5 meters per second and travels for 5 seconds. Therefore,

`s=2.5 \ m/s\\t= 5 \ s`

Substitute the values into the formula.

`d=2.5 \ m/s \ * 5 \ s`

Multiply. Note that the seconds, or "s" will cancel each other out when multiplying.

`d= 2.5 \ m * 5`

`d=12.5 \ m`

The dog can travel 12.5 meters at 2.5 m/s for 5 seconds.
