Question

If a runner can go at a speed of 1.625 m/s and he runs in a race for 1.16 hrs, what is the distance covered during the race? Explain in brief

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance: Speed * Time

We have to convert this hours ( time ) in seconds

1.16 = 4176 secs

Thus,

1.625 * 4176

6786 m

If the answer is required in kms :

6786/1000 = 6.786 km

Extra:

Instead of converting hrs into secs, you can also convert m/s into km/hr by:

1.625 * 18/5

5.85 km/hr

Distance = speed * time

5.85 * 1.16

6.786 km
