Question

in a game of tug of war your team changes -1 3/10 feet in position every 10 seconds. What is your change in position after 30 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

Change in position after 30 seconds will be $- \frac{26}{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Change on position in every 10 seconds = $-1 \frac{3}{10}$

To Find:

Change in position after 30 seconds = ?

Solution:

For every 10 seconds the team  changes a distance of $-1 \frac{3}{10}$ feet

After first 10 seconds

The change in position  will be $-1 \frac{3}{10}$ feet = $-\frac{13}{10}$

After next 10 seconds i.e., after 20 seconds

The change in position will be   = $- \frac{13}{10}$  + $- \frac{13}{10}$

=> $- \frac{26}{10}$

After next 10 seconds i.e., after 30 seconds

The change in position will be   =  $- \frac{26}{10}$ + $- \frac{13}{10}$

=> $- \frac{39}{10}$
