Nakita rode her skateboard at an average speed of 8.8 feet per second for 0.2 miles. She wants to calculate how long it took her

to skateboard that distance. Nakita uses the formula d=rt (d = distance, r = rate, t = time), and she knows that 1 mile = 5280 feet and that 1 minute = 60 seconds. How many minutes did it take Nakita to skateboard 0.2 miles at her average speed of 8.8 ft/sec? minutes

Answer:

2 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

If d = r*t then in our case:

d = 0.2 miles

r = 8.8 ft/sec

t = unknown

or

0.2 = 8.8 * t

We now need to convert everything to the proper units.

Let's convert 0.2 miles to feet using this equation:

\frac{0.2}{x} = \frac{1}{5280}

Cross multiply to get:

x = 1056

That means 0.2 miles is equivalent to 1056 feet

Now let's convert 8.8ft/sec to ft/min using this equation

\frac{8.8}{1} *\frac{60}{1}

8.8 * 60 = 528 ft/min

Now, our d = rt equation looks like this:

1056 = 528 * t

Let's find t by dividing both sides by 528 to get

t = 2 minutes

Suppose you travel to Africa and drop a note in a sealed bottle in the Nile at its source. If the bottle traveled at 7 km/h on a
ValentinkaMS [17]

The time required for the bottle to reach the end of Nile is 963 hours

What is Speed?

Speed is defined as the rate of change of position of an object in any direction. Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered. Speed is a scalar quantity as it has only direction and no magnitude

Speed = Distance / Time

Given data ,

Let the speed of the bottle in the river be S = 7 km/h

Let the distance traveled by the bottle in the river be D = 6741 km

Now , the time taken by the bottle to reach the distance D with speed S is calculated by the equation

Speed = Distance / Time

and ,

Time = Distance / Speed

Substituting the values of distance and speed in the equation , we get

Time taken by the bottle = 6741 / 7

                                          = 963 hours

Therefore , the time required is 963 hours

Hence , The time required for the bottle to reach the end of Nile is 963 hours
