Question

Sound travels at a rate of 340 m/s in all directions through air. Matt rings a very loud bell at one location, and Steve hears it some time later at his location 450 meters to the south. How long did it take the sound to travel from the bell to Steve's location?

Answer 1

(450 meters) x (second / 340 meters) = 1.324 seconds (rounded)

Answer 2

distance= speed x time
450=340xt
t=450/340
t=1.32s
