Question

Jennifer swam 600 meters in quarter of an hour. What was her speed in meters per second?

Answer 1

Hi there

1/4 of an hour = 15 minutes

In 15 mins she swam 600m.

15 mins = 15 x 60 second

= 900 sec

Speed = Distance / Time

= 600 / 900

= 2m / 3 sec

= 0.66 m/sec ( ans )

Thank You

Answer 2

Heya !!!

Here is Your Answer.

Given :

Distance = 600 m
Time = 1/4 h = 1/4 × 60 × 60 = 900 secs.

Speed = Distance/time
= 600/900
= 2/3 m/s or 0.67 m/s

Hope It Helps
