Danny races cars at her local racetrack she drove her red car 400 m in five seconds. If she drives the same car at the same rate how fast will she be able to complete a race that is 600 m
To find out how fast Danny can complete a 600 m race, we can use the concept of speed, which is distance divided by time.
Given:
Distance covered in the first race = 400 m
Time taken in the first race = 5 seconds
To find the speed in the first race, we can divide the distance by the time: speed = distance / time.
Therefore, Danny's speed in the first race = 400 m / 5 s = 80 m/s.
Now, we want to find out how fast she can complete a 600 m race. We can use the speed from the first race to calculate the time needed for the second race, by rearranging the formula:
time = distance / speed.
Substituting the values:
time = 600 m / 80 m/s = 7.5 seconds.
Therefore, Danny will be able to complete a 600 m race in 7.5 seconds if she drives at the same speed.
