Question

If a runner races 50 meters in 5 seconds, how fast is she going?

Answer 1

The answer is she is going 10 meters a second

Answer 2

10 m/s

Explanation:

The phrase "how fast she is going" tells us that we need to find her speed.

To find her speed, we need to take her distance (50 meters) and divide it by the time (5 seconds):

Runner's Speed = Distance ÷ Time

Runner's Speed = 50 ÷ 5

Runner's Speed = 10 m/s

Hence, the girl's speed is 10 m/s
