Question

Tom runs at a constant speed and travels 11 meters in 4 seconds. If Tom runs for 8 seconds at this constant speed,

how far will he travel?

Answer 1

He will travel 22 meters.

Explanation:

This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.

11 meters in 4 seconds.

How many meters is 8 seconds?

4 seconds - 11 meters

8 seconds - x meters

`4x = 11*8`

`4x = 88`

`x = (88)/(4)`

`x = 22`

He will travel 22 meters.
