Question

Mina walks at a constant pace of 1.6 m/s and takes 20
minutes to get to school.
Abeni walks at 1.4 m/s and takes 30 minutes to get to
school.
What is the difference between the distances they
walked?

Answer 1

Answer:

600 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mina's constant pace = 1.6m/s

Time taken = 20 minutes

Abeni's pace = 1.4 m/s

Time taken = 30 minutes

Difference in the distances covered :

Recall :

Distance covered = Speed * time

Mina's distance = 1.6 * (20 * 60 seconds) = 1920m

Abeni's distance = 1.4 * (30 * 60 seconds) = 2520 m

Difference :

2520 m - 1920 m

= 600 m
