Question

A moving walkway at an airport moves at a pace of 1.75 feet per second. If you stand on the walkway as it moves, how long will it take to transport you 280 feet? CLEAR CHECK 160 seconds 278.25 seconds 490 seconds 625 seconds

Answer 1

Answer:

2 minutes 40 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that distance = rate times time.

Thus, time = distance / rate.

Here,

time = 280 ft / (1.75 ft/sec) = 160 sec, or 2 minutes 40 sec
