Question

Andy run 414.2 meters in 68.7 seconds. If Andy runs a constant speed, how far does he run in one second? Give your answer is the nearest tenth of a second.​

Answer 1

In 1 second he runs 6.0 meters.

Explanation:

The question asks "how far does he run in one second?" The answer is a distance, not a time, so if it needs to be rounded, it is to the nearest tenth of a meter.

Divide the distance by the time:

(414.2 m)/(68.7 sec) = 6.029 m/sec

In 1 second he runs 6.0 meters.
