Question

if you walk at 0.7 m/s, how long would it take to walk a mile which is 1609 m

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{2298.57 \ seconds}}$

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Explanation:

$\displaystyle \sf Speed = \frac{Distance \ covered }{Time \ taken}$

$\displaystyle \sf s = \frac{d }{t}$

The speed is 0.7 m/s.

The distance covered is 1609 m.

$\displaystyle \sf 0.7 = \frac{1609 }{t}$

Multiplying both sides by t.

Then dividing both sides by 0.7.

$\displaystyle \sf t = \frac{1609 }{0.7}$

$\sf t= 2298.57$

It would take 2298.57 seconds.

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf t = 2298.57\ secs}$

Explanation:

Given:

Speed = v = 0.7 m/s

Distance = S = 1 mile = 1609 metre

Required:

Time = t = ?

Formula :

v = S/t

Solution:

v = S/t

t = S/v

t = 1609 / 0.7

t = 2298.57 secs
