Question

If the average speed of a drag racing car is 0.069 miles second, how long would it take the car to complete a 1/4 mile (0.25 mile) straight track?

Answer 1

Answer: 3.6 seconds

Explanation:

The correct speed of the car is 0.069 miles per second.

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Time = distance / speed rate

Replacing with the values given:

t = 0.25 m/ 0.069 mps =3.6 seconds

It would take the drag racing car 3.6 seconds to complete a ¼ mile straight track.
