Question

A peacock walks 6 feet in 15 seconds how many feet can a peacock walk in 98 seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

$Distance = 39.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Distance = 6ft;\\ Time = 15seconds$

Required

Determine the distance covered in 98 seconds

To solve this, the following assumption must be made:

• The peacock walks at a constant speed

So, first we calculate the speed

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

Substitute 6 for Distance and 15 for Time

$Speed = \frac{6}{15}$

$Speed = 0.40$

Next, is to calculate the required distance

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

In this case:

$Speed = 0.40$ because it is constant and

$Time = 98$

The expression becomes:

$0.40 = \frac{Distance}{98}$

Make Distance the subject:

$Distance = 0.40 * 98$

$Distance = 39.2$

The peacock will walk 39.2 feet in 98 seconds
