Question

In a sprint to the finish, a professional cyclist travels 380 meters in 20 seconds. At that rate, how many meters will the cyclist travel in 7 seconds?

Answer 1

133m

Explanation:

Rate can be defined as the measure of a quantity with time

Rate the professional cyclist travels =380/20

To know the rate rate, in meters will the cyclist travel in 7 seconds then we equate the rate above as

380/20= x/7

Cross multiply

380×7=20X

2660= 20x

X=133m

Hence, the rate rate, in meters will the cyclist travel in 7 seconds is 133m
