Heather and Matthew walk eastward with a speed of 0.76 meters per second east. If it takes them 50 minutes to walk to the store, how far have they walked? Answer in kilometers
distance=speed*time
work it in m, seconds first
distance=.76m/s*50*60seconds
then to get km, divide by 1000
To find the distance Heather and Matthew have walked, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed * Time
First, let's convert the time from minutes to hours:
50 minutes = 50/60 = 5/6 hours
Now, we can calculate the distance:
Distance = 0.76 meters/second * (5/6) hours
To convert meters to kilometers, we divide by 1000:
Distance = (0.76 meters/second * (5/6) hours) / 1000
Calculating this expression gives us the distance in kilometers.
