Question

Solve:40KMEN

Answer 1

The spider will cross the driveway 25.71 in seconds.

Why?

It's a conversion problem, so, in order to solve it, we need to convert the units of the given information.

Let's convert the given speed (in cm/s) to m/s.

We know that:

$1m=100cm$

So, converting we have:

$14\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.14\frac{m}{s}$

Then, calculating the time, we have:

$distance=speed*time\\\\3.6m=0.14\frac{m}{s}*time\\\\time=\frac{3.6m}{0.14\frac{m}{s}}=25.71s$

We have that the spider will cross the driveway in 25.71 seconds.

Have a nice day!
