Answer 1

A bike travels 7 feet in 1/3 of a second. at the same speed, how many feet will it travel in 5 seconds?

Answer 2

Answer:

105 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a bike travels 7 feet in 1/3 of a second. We are asked to find the distance traveled by bike in 5 seconds.

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{7 ft}}{\frac{1}{3}\text{second}}$

$\text{Speed}=\text{7 ft}\times \frac{3}{1\text{ second}}$

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{21 ft}}{\text{ second}}$

$\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}$

$\text{Distance}=\frac{\text{21 ft}}{\text{ second}}\times \text{5 seconds}$

$\text{Distance}=105\text{ ft}$

Therefore, the bike will travel 105 ft in 5 seconds.
