Question

Ed stands on a moving walkway and gets from one end of the walkway to the other in 20 seconds. The walkway is 44 feet long. Which statements are true?
Every 8 seconds, Ed travels 32 feet.
Ed travels 11 feet every 5 seconds.
Ed travels 2.2 feet per second.
Ed travels 0.9 of a foot every 2 seconds.
Every 10 seconds, Ed travels 22 feet.

Answer 1

Answer:
Ed travels 2.2 feet per second.
Every 10 seconds, Ed travels 22 feet.
Ed travels 11 feet every 5 seconds.

Explanation:
Divid feet (44) by the seconds (20) to find out how far Ed can move in a second.
44 ÷ 20 = 2.2
Multiply the feet per second by the seconds in each option to see which is correct.

(I’ll go through them in order of how you listed them)
8 x 2.2 = 17,6 So first one is false
5 x 2.2 = 11 So it’s true
1 x 2.2 = 2.2 So it’s true
2 x 2.2 = 4.4 So it’s false
10 x 2.2 = 22 So it’s true

(Now you know how to do it!) :D
