Question

Like the polar bear, the walrus is a fine swimmer, though it does not have the same endurance. For short periods of time, a walrus can swim with an average speed of 9.7 m/s. How far would a walrus swim at this speed in 3.4 minutes?

Answer 1

The swimmer will be 1978.8 m far.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to apply here is; speed = distance/time

So in this case, distance =speed * time

Speed = 9.7 m/s

Time = 3.4 minutes ⇒change to seconds, multiplying by 60 sec

Time=3.4×60 = 204 seconds

Distance = 204 × 9.7 = 1978.8 m
