Heather and Mathew walked eastward with a speed of 9.8 m/s. If it takes them 34 min. to walk to the store, how far have they walked?
34 * 60 = 2,040 seconds
2,040 / 9.8 = ?
Sounds like Heather and Mathew were very fast walkers. 9.8m/s!
As for the calculations by Ms. Sue, I believe it should be 2,040*9.8 = ?metres.
First we have to calculate the seconds ...
34min*60s=2040s
therefore,
2040s/9.8m=
its may be about 208.16m .
They walked...
To calculate the distance Heather and Mathew have walked, you can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
First, you need to convert the given time from minutes to hours. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, you can divide 34 minutes by 60 to get the time in hours:
34 min ÷ 60 = 0.567 hours
Now, you can use the formula to calculate the distance:
Distance = 9.8 m/s × 0.567 hours
Calculating further:
Distance = 5.5646 meters
Therefore, Heather and Mathew have walked approximately 5.56 meters.
