Given:
Dina walks 400 meters from her house to a convenience store in 5 minutes.
To find:
What is her average speed?
Solution:
Formula used:
Average speed = Distance traveled / Time taken
From the data, Dina walks 400 meters
The time taken by Dina to reach the store is 5 minutes
Since the units of distance are in meters convert minutes into seconds
=> 5 minutes = 5 × 60 seconds = 300 seconds
[ Since 1 minute = 60 seconds ]
Using the formula,
Average speed of the Dina = 400/300
= 4/3 = 1.33 m/s
