=90 seconds

Now,

Average speed:

$\ \frac{distance \: travelled \: }{time \: taken} \\ = \frac{340 \: m}{90 \: s} \\ = 3.78 \: metre \: per \: second$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

Answer 2

Answer:

3.78 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that the formula for average speed is given by

Speed = Distance ÷ Time taken

Where,

Speed = we are asked to find this

Distance = given as 340m

Time taken = 1.5 min = 1.5 x 60 = 90 seconds

Substituting the values into the equation:

Speed = Distance ÷ Time taken

= 340 meters  ÷ 90 seconds

= 3.777777 m/s

= 3.78 m/s (round to nearest hundredth)
