Question

A fish swims 0.8 m/s for 34 m. How much time does it take the fish to swim this distance?

Do not round.

NO UNITS NEEDED.

Answer 1

42.4m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Speed of the fish = 0.8m/s

Distance = 34m

Unknown:

Time taken for the fish to swim = ?

Solution:

Speed is the distance divided by the time taken;

Speed =
`(distance)/(time)`

Time =
`(distance)/(speed)`

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

Time =
`(34)/(0.8)` = 42.4s
