Question

3. How far (in meters) will you travel in 3 minutes running at a rate of 6 m/s? Hint: First convert min to
seconds.​

Answer 1

Answer: If you travel 6 m/s (meaning after 1 second, you've run 6 meters), then after 3 minutes (or 180 seconds), you have run 6x180=1080 meters.

Answer 2

Given:

Time=3 minutes

Rate of running=6m/s

To find:

The distance covered

Solution:

The distance covered is 1,080 metres.

We can find the distance by following the given steps-

We know that the distance can be obtained by finding the product of the rate of running and the time taken.

So, distance covered=rate of running×time taken

Let the distance covered while running be D.

We are given that the rate of running is 6m/s.

The time taken is 3 minutes.

We know that there are 60 seconds in 1 minute.

So, in 3 minutes, there are 180 seconds.

Now, we will use these values to calculate the distance.

The distance covered=6×180

D=1,080 metres

Therefore, the distance covered is 1,080 metres.
