Question

could someone answer this? thanks! In a sprint to the finish, a professional cyclist travels 380 meters in 20 seconds. At that rate, how far does the cyclist travel in only 3 seconds?

The cyclist travels -blank-
meters in 3 seconds.

How long does it take that same cyclist to travel 190 meters?

The cyclist takes -blank-
seconds to travel 190 meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

20 second - 380 meters

1 second - 380/20 meters

3 seconds - 380/20 × 3 = 57 meters

380 metres - 20 second

190 meters - 20/380 × 190 = 10 seconds

Answer 2

Answer:

Cyclist travels 380m in 20 seconds.

So, in 1 second, he travels (380/20)m

i.e. 19m per second.

In 3 seconds, cyclist travel 57m.

We know that,

Cyclist travels 19m in 1 second.

So according to this, he should travel 190m in 10 seconds.

Hence, cyclist will take 10 seconds to cover 190m.

Hope it helps.
