Question

Alex can ski 960 meters in 5 minutes. If his skiing speed is increased by 20 m/min, how many meters can he cover in 10 minutes? ___ m

Answer 1

960/50=192

His speed is 192m/min
His speed increases by 20

192+20=212
His skiing speed is 212m/min

To find how many meters he can ski in 10 mins multiply his speed rate by 10
212*10=2120

2120m would be your answer.

I hope this helps :$

Answer 2

First let's find out how much he can ski per minute without his increase in speed.
To find speed we will have to divide distance by time.
960÷5=232
So his speed is 232 meters per second.
Now to this as add 20.
232+20=252
Then to find out how far he will go in 10 minutes,we will just have to multiply 252 by 10
252×10=2520
So your answer will be that Alex will go 2520 meters in 10 minutes.
