Question

A fish swims a distance of 6 km in 5 minutes. What is the average speed in m/s

Answer 1

20 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed of the fish can be calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.

First, we need to convert the distance from km to meters:

6 km = 6,000 meters

Next, we need to convert the time from minutes to seconds:

5 minutes = 5 × 60 = 300 seconds

Finally, we divide the distance traveled by the time taken:

Average speed = 6000 meters / 300 seconds = 20 m/s

So, the average speed of the fish is 20 m/s.

Answer 2

Explanation:

6 km = 6000 m

5 min = 300 s

6000m / 300s = 20 m/s
