During a workout at the gym, you set the treadmill at a pace of 58.2 m/min. How many minutes will you walk if you cover a distance of 9300 ft?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
To find the number of minutes we will walk, we need to convert the distance from feet to meters.
There are 1 ft = 0.3048 m
So, 9300 ft = 9300 * 0.3048 = 2834.4 m
Now we can find the number of minutes:
Distance = Pace * Time
Time = Distance / Pace = 2834.4 m / 58.2 m/min
Time ≈ 48.72 min
Rounded to two significant figures: Time ≈ 49 min
Therefore, you will walk for approximately 49 minutes.
To solve this problem, we need to convert the distance from feet to meters and then use the given pace to find the time.
1 meter = 3.2808 feet
So, 9300 ft = 9300 ft * (1 m / 3.2808 ft) = 2834.64 m
Now, we can use the pace to find the time.
58.2 m/min * t min = 2834.64 m
Dividing both sides of the equation by 58.2 m/min, we have:
t min = 2834.64 m / 58.2 m/min = 48.73 min
Rounding to two significant figures, the time is approximately 49 min.
Therefore, you will walk for approximately 49 minutes to cover a distance of 9300 ft.
