Answer: 300 feet

Explanation:
Three important factors are involved in bringing a moving vehicle to a stop.

1. Perception distance is the distance a vehicle travels while your brain perceives the need to apply the brakes. An alert driver requires about 0.75 seconds to react. This time accounts for about 60 feet of travel.

2. Reaction distance is the distance traveled before the driver actually presses on the brake pedal. For an alert driver, this also takes about 0.75 seconds. This adds another 60 feet of travel.

3. Braking distance is the distance the vehicle travels before coming to a stop on a dry ground. On a slippery ground (after snow or rain) this distance is longer. On dry ground, the skidding distance is about 170 feet.

This means that an alert driver needs 60+60+170 = 290 feet (approximately 300 feet) to stop.
For this reason, tailgating at high driving speeds is dangerous.

lozanna [386]
<span>Classical economists felt this way because of the idea of 'interest rate flexibility'. This means that the classical economists believed in the idea that the economy would even itself out, or that the economy was 'self-regulating'. This lends itself to the idea that saving would be equal to investment because it does not take into consideration any shift in the economy.</span>

Hi!

<em>Option C is correct.</em>

<em></em>

Explanation of the choices:

A. - This seems a good choice, however it's not the best choice. Let's come back to it.

B. - This is the best choice because they get to experience first-hand how to manage and make their own money decisions. Choice A might seem good at first, but we can see this is better because they get to make their own decisions and experience hands-on how to do it.

C - This is not a good choice, because it's best to expose children early so they can grow up knowing how to do it.

D - This choice doesn't make sense. What is the point of money if you store it away and don't spend it? This will likely not be a good lesson in the future.

Hope this helps! :D
