Question

The beetle travelled the distance A to B in 20 seconds measuring 6.5cm. Calculate the speed in minutes at which beta moves..

Answer 1

Answer:

So speed in minutes would be 19.5 cm/minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time take by it = 20 seconds

Distance covered = 6.5 cm

To find:

Speed in minutes = ?

Solution:

For finding speed in minutes we should have time in Minutes

as time is given in seconds

so

1 minute contain 60 seconds

Time 20 seconds in minutes = $\frac{20}{60}$ minutes

Time = $\frac{1}{3}$ minutes

Now we have to find the speed

Distance = Speed * time

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

Putting the values

Speed = 6.5 ÷ $\frac{1}{3}$

Changing sign of division into multiplication

Speed = 6.5 * 3

speed = 19.5 cm / minute

So speed in minutes would be 19.5 cm/minutes
