Question

A man walks at the rate of 88 paces to the minute if the average length of his paces is 0.875m, find the time take to walk 2.31km.

Answer 1

Answer:

30 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Walk rate = 88 paces/ minute

Average length of pace = 0.875 m

Time taken to walk 2.31 km ;

The distance in metres :

1000 m = 1 km

2.31 km = (1000 * 2.31) = 2310 m

Recall :

Time taken = distance / speed

Distance walked in a minute = 88 * 0.875 = 77 m

Time taken = 2310 / 77

Time taken = 30 minutes
