The time between a lightning flash and the following thunderclap may be used to estimate, in kilometers,
how far away a storm is. How far away is a storm if 12 seconds elapse between the lightning and the thunderclap?
Use the formula d= t/3 , where t is the time, in seconds, between the flash and the thunderclap.
4 kilometers
5 kilometers
15 kilometers••
36 kilometers
Can someone check my answer
Is my answer right???
Plz someone correct me
Guys whenever there’s a fraction divide. So 12 divided by 3 is 4 so basically it’s “A”
To solve this problem, you can use the formula provided: d = t/3, where d is the distance in kilometers and t is the time in seconds between the lightning and the thunderclap.
In this case, 12 seconds elapse between the lightning and the thunderclap. Substituting this value into the formula, we have:
d = 12/3
d = 4 kilometers.
Therefore, the storm is approximately 4 kilometers away. Your answer of 4 kilometers is correct.
I just want to know if my answer is right or wrong!!:(
so, if you plug in 12 for t, how do you get 12/3 = 15?
You apparently did 12+3=15
better review what the operators mean.
