Question

Near a coral reef, a barracuda swam at a steady speed for 4.4seconds. It swam 33meters in that time. What was its speed?
Write your answer to the tenths place.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 meters/second

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = the magnitude of distance / time

Distance = 33 meters

Time = 4.4 seconds

Speed = 33 meters / 4.4 seconds = 7.5 meters/second. This is already to the tenths place, or the place right after the decimal, so we don't have to worry about rounding here.
