Question

The distance from the school to Brandi's house is 1,240 meters. Leaving the school, she rides her bicycle for 60 seconds at a speed of 5 meters per second. If Brandi continues cycling at this speed, how many more seconds will it take her to arrive at her house?

Answer 1

Distance = d = 1240 m
Time = T = 60 s
Speed = v = 5 m/s
distance covered in 60 seconds = 5 × 60 = 300 m
distance to be covered = 1240 m
so time= distance/speed= 1240/5 = 248 seconds
Now 248-60 = 188 seconds
so after a ride of 60 seconds it will take Brandi to take 188 more seconds to arrive at her house.
until or unless she stops by to buy some food for her or click a selfie!
