Question

You are traveling at 100 km/hr to make it to work on time. You have to be to work in .25 hr or you will be late. You have 16 km to travel. Will you make it on time?

Answer 1

Answer: Yes

Explanation:

Velocity $V$ is defined as the distance traveled $d$ in a specific time $t$:

$V=\frac{d}{t}$

If you are traveling at $V=100 km/h$ a distance $d=16 m$, then the time it will take you to be at work is:

$t=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{16 km}{100 km/h}$

$t=0.16 h$

This means you will make it on time, because this time is less than 0.25 h.
