Answer 1

8.3 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

He drives 150 meters in 18 seconds, and we want to find out how many meters per second he is driving.

`(150 meters)/(18 seconds) = (x meters)/(1 second) \\\\`

Cross multiply, then you get

`150 meters * 1 second = 18 seconds * x meters\\\\(150 meters)/(18 seconds) = x (meters)/(second) \\ \\x = 8.3 (meters)/(second)`
