Question

You need to get to class, 24 meters away, and you can only walk in the hallways at about 1.5 m/s. How much time will it take to get to your class?

Answer 1

It will take 16 seconds to get to your class.

Solution:

`\bold{Distance}=\bold{Speed }* \bold{Time}`

`200m = 1.5m/ s * t`

• Now solve for t to get the time in seconds

`24=1.5* t` (We want to get t by itself, so lets get rid of the
`*1.5` by dividing both sides by 1.5)

• 
  `24/1.5 = t`

`t = 16 \ \text{seconds}`

Therefore, it will take 16 seconds to get to your class.
