Question

Ms. Hardy walks 12 meters in 24.7 seconds.

If she walks at this same rate, which of the
following is closest to the distance she will
walk in 5 minutes?

Answer 1

she walks about 145.7 meters in 5 minutes

Explanation:

Hey There!

so first we want to find the meters per second rate

to do this we do

`(12)/(24.7) = 0.48582995951`

so the meters per second is 0.4858299591

Then we want to find how many seconds are in a 5 minutes

to do this we multiply 5 and 60

5x60=300

then we want to multiply that by the meters per second

300x 0.4858299591=145.748987854

so she walks about 145.7 meters in 5 minutes
