Question

What is the distance a shark can cover while swimming at a speed of 15.25 m/s for 13 seconds?

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS 198.25 METRES.

Distance covered=time × speed

= 13×15.25 =192.25 metres.

Answer 2

$\bigstar$ Given

Speed = 15.25 m/s

Time = 13 seconds

$\bigstar$ To Find

Distance

$\bigstar$ Solution

We know that

$\red{\sf \longrightarrow d=s \times t}$

Here

• d = distance
• s = speed
• t = time

Units

• d = metre (m)
• s = metres per second (m/s)
• t = seconds (s)

According to the question

We are asked to find distance

Therefore

We must find "d"

Given that

Speed = 15.25 m/s

Time = 13 seconds

Hence

• s = 15.25 m/s
• t = 13 s

Substituting the values

We get

$\orange{\sf \longrightarrow d=15.25 \times 13 \ m}$

Therefore

$\pink{\sf \longrightarrow d=198.25 \ m}$

Hence

$\checkmark$ Distance = 198.25 m
