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.
Answers
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.
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.
