Question

A student takes a time of 10 minutes to move from his home to the school at an average speed equals 2 m/s. Which of the following equals the distance between his home and the schools? a. 84 m. b. 48m. c. 1.2 km. d. 3.6 km.

Answer 1

Dear student,

It is given that a student takes a time of 10 minutes to move from his home to the school at an average speed of 2 m/s.

From the given information, we can say;

            speed, v = 2 m/s

            time, t = 10 minutes

                       = 600 seconds

            distance, s= ? (To be calculated)

Now, we know by formula that;

          Speed = distance/ time

       distance = speed × time

                   s = 2 × 600

                   s = 1200 m

                  s = 1.2 km

Hence, the distance between student's home and school is 1.2 km making option (c) 1.2 km correct.
