Okay. I have questions like "Walks ten meters in 3 seconds" . How do I find her walking rate. After that I have to find an equation to represent the distance she walks in t seconds. Please help me...Im very confused and terribe at math
rate= distance/time= 10m/3sec= 3.33 m/s
Thank you so much. I love you. xD
No problem! I can help you with that.
To find the walking rate, you need to divide the distance walked by the time taken. In this case, the person walks ten meters in three seconds. So the walking rate would be:
Walking Rate = Distance / Time = 10 meters / 3 seconds
To simplify the walking rate, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD), which in this case is 1. So the walking rate is:
Walking Rate = 10 meters / 3 seconds
Now, to find an equation to represent the distance walked in t seconds, you can use the walking rate and the concept of proportionality. Since the walking rate is constant, you can say that the distance walked is directly proportional to the time taken. This can be represented by the equation:
Distance = Walking Rate * Time
In this case, we already know the walking rate (10 meters / 3 seconds). So the equation becomes:
Distance = (10/3) * Time
Now, you can substitute any value of t (time in seconds) into this equation to find the distance walked in that time. For example, if you want to find the distance walked in 5 seconds, you would substitute t = 5 into the equation:
Distance = (10/3) * 5
Simplifying this equation will give you the distance walked in 5 seconds.
