Question

The tires of a go-cart are 1 m in circumference. The tires revolve 15 times per second. What is the distance the go-cart travels in 40 seconds? Put your answer in meters.

Answer 1

600 m

Explanation:

The circumference of a tire is the distance around it. The distance around these tires is 1 m.

Since the tires revolve 15 times per second, this means every second the tires travel 15 m.

This means that in 40 seconds, the tires travel

15(40) = 600 m.
