Answer:

11250 seconds or 187.5 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to be used here is that of speed.

Speed (in m/s) = distance (meter) ÷ time (secs)

The speed provided is 32 meters per second

The distance provided will have to be converted to meters; 360 km = 360 × 1000 = 360000 meters

Thus,

32 = 360000 ÷ time

time = 360000 ÷ 32

time = 11250 seconds or 187.5 mins

It will take Naomi 11250 seconds to get to New York
