Well I don't know. Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.
A, B, C, and D all have the same TOTAL length, but A has the most waves crammed into that same total length.
By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in A must be shorter than each wave in B, C, or D.
The correct choice is <em> A </em>. Looking at the picture did the trick !
Choice-'a' is a slippery, misleading, ambiguous statement,
but it's less wrong than any of the other choices on this list.
You'll never get the correct answer without the correct conversion factor. Note carefully that you have no decimal. It should be
<span>1 km = 0.6214 miles </span>
<span>1000 m = 1 km </span>
<span>60 seconds = 1 minute </span>
<span>60 minutes = 1 hour. </span>
<span>2.998E8 m/s x (1 km/1000m) x (0.6214 miles/km) x (60 sec/min) x (60 min/hr) = ?</span>
The spider will cross the driveway <u>25.71 in seconds</u>.
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:
So, converting we have:
Then, calculating the time, we have:
We have that the spider will cross the driveway in 25.71 seconds.
Have a nice day!
