Question

The red kangaroo shown in Figure 2.5 is the largest marsupial in the world. It has been clocked hopping at a speed of 65 k/h. (a) How far (in kilometers) can a red kangaroo hop in 3.2 minutes at this speed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.46km

Explanation:

Hey there!!!, the figure 2.5 as stated in the question cannot be found, even though we have enough information to proceed.

given

speed of kangaroo s= 65 km/h

time taken t= 3.2 mins

distance d=?

Since we are expected to find the distance covered in km we need to convert the time to hours first and solve

converting minutresto hours we have

60 minutes ----- 1 hour

3.2 minutes-------Xhours

cross mutiply we have

X= 3.2/60= 0.053 hour

Now we can calculate the distance as

s=d/t

d=s*t

d= 65*0.0533

d=3.46km

Hence the Kangaroo we travel a distance of 3.46km
