How long would it take to travel 425 m at the rate of 50 m/s ?

A. 8.5 s
B. 375 s
C. 475 s
D. 21,250 s

A. 8.5 s

Uhm..A

To find out how long it would take to travel 425 m at a rate of 50 m/s, we can use the formula:

time = distance / rate

In this case, the distance is 425 m and the rate is 50 m/s. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

time = 425 m / 50 m/s

To simplify this calculation, we can divide the numerator and denominator by 25:

time = (425 m / 25) / (50 m/s / 25)

Simplifying further, we have:

time = 17 s / 2 s

Dividing 17 s by 2 s, we get:

time = 8.5 s

Therefore, the correct answer is option A, 8.5 s.
