Question

Copy and complete the table below to represent the amount of time it would take Meredith to get her friends house if she traveled at different rates

Answer 1

This problem can be solved by using the formula for

linear motions. The formula relating velocity, distance and time is:

t = d / v

where t is time, d is distance and v is velocity

We are given that d = 24 blocks

When v = 1 block / minute

t = 24 blocks / (1 block / minute)

t = 24 minutes

When v = 2 block / minute

t = 24 blocks / (2 block / minute)

t = 12 minutes

Hence we can see that it takes half the time when she is

travelling at 2 blocks per minute.

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

Formula used here ,

`\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}`

It is given that the distance between Meredith and her friends house =2 4 blocks

Then At Speed = 1 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(1)`= 24 minutes.

At Speed = 2 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(2)`= 12 minutes.

At Speed = 3 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(3)`= 8 minutes.

At Speed = 4 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(4)`= 6 minutes.

At Speed = 6 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(6)`= 4 minutes.

At Speed = 8 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(8)`= 3 minutes.

At Speed = 10 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(10)`= 2.4 minutes.

At Speed = 12 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(12)`= 2 minutes.

At Speed = 24 block per minute.

`\text{Time}=(24)/(24)`= 1 minute.
