jim ran the 400-meter dash in 47 seconds. if he ran at a constant rate, about how many meters did he run in a second?
you just divide the time by the distance since he ran at a constant rate
Ooops i meant you just divide the distance by the time NOT the time by the substance
400/47 = 8.51 m/s
Thank yu
To find out how many meters Jim ran in a second, we can divide the total distance (400 meters) by the total time (47 seconds). Let's do the calculation:
400 meters / 47 seconds ≈ 8.51 meters/second (rounded to two decimal places).
Therefore, Jim ran at approximately 8.51 meters per second.
