Question

An object travels along a horizontal straight path at a constant rate. The object travels 1 20 20 1 ​ of the length of the path in 3 4 4 3 ​ second. At that rate, how many seconds does it take the object to travel the entire length of the path?

Answer 1

the number of seconds that needed for the overall path length is 15 seconds

Explanation:

The computation of the number of seconds that needed for the overall path length is shown below:

The tiny portion is 1 ÷ 20

And, the entire length is 20 ÷ 20

Now if 1 ÷ 20 is travelled in 3 ÷ 4 path so the time needed is

= 20 × 3 ÷ 4

= 15 seconds

Hence, the number of seconds that needed for the overall path length is 15 seconds
