Question

A crazy dog runs at a constant speed of 19.85 mi/hr for 6.09 min. How far does the dog travel during this time period?

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance, d = 3242.19 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the dog, v = 19.85 mi/hr

Since, 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s

v = 19.85 mi/hr = 8.873 m/s

Time taken by the dog, t = 6.09 min = 365.4 sec

Let the distance covered by the dog during this time period is d. It can be calculated by the speed of the dog multiplied by the time taken as :

$d=v\times t$

$d=8.873\times 365.4$

d = 3242.19 meters

So, the the dog travel during this time period is 3242.19 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
