Question

Sound travels through sea water at a speed of about 1500 meters per second. At this rate, how far will sound travel in 2 minutes?

Answer 1

180,000 m

Explanation:

There are 60 seconds in a minute, so:

2 min × 60 s/min = 120 s

Distance = rate × time

d = 1500 m/s × 120 s

d = 180,000 m
