Question

a cockroach covers a distance of 30 metres in 1.5 minutes. what is the speed of the cockroach?​

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 m/s

Explanation:

D=30m

T=90sec ( sorry for figuring out late)

S=30/90 m/s

 =0.5 m/s (ANS.)

Answer 2

Given,

A cockroach covers a distance of 30 meters in 1.5 minutes.

To find,

The speed of the cockroach.

Solution,

We can simply solve this numerical problem by using the following process:

Mathematically,

Speed (s) = distance traveled (d)/time taken(t)

{Statement-1}

According to the question;

The speed of the cockroach

= distance traveled (d)/time taken(t)

{according to statement-1}

= (30 meters)/(1.5 minutes)

= (30 meters)/(1.5 × 60 seconds)

{Since 1 minute = 60 seconds}

= (30 meters)/(90 seconds)

= (30/90) m/s

= 1/3 m/s = 0.3 m/s (approx.)

Hence, the speed of the cockroach is approximately equal to 0.3 m/s.
