Question

Using a stopwatch, Tyrone determines it takes him 58. 2 minutes to travel 30 miles to work. The stopwatch measures to hundredths of a minute. Going by the accuracy of the stopwatch, which is the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second Tyrone traveled on his way to work? 1 mile = 5,280 feet 19. 8 feet per second 19. 84 feet per second 45. 3 feet per second 45. 36 feet per second.

Answer 1

The most accurate determination for the number of 45.36 feet per second Tyrone traveled on his way to work.

Given that,

Using a stopwatch Tyrone determines it takes him 58.2 minutes to travel 30 miles to work the stopwatch measures to hundredths of a minute going by the accuracy of the stopwatch.

We have to determine,

Which is the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second Tyrone traveled on his way to work?

According to the question,

Tyrone determines it takes him 58.2 minutes to travel 30 miles to work,

the stopwatch measures to hundredths of a minute going by the accuracy of the stopwatch are determined by,

$\rm Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}$

Substitute the values in the equation,

$\rm Speed = \dfrac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed = \dfrac{30}{58.2}\\\\Speed = \dfrac{50}{97} \ miles \ per \ minute$

If 1 mile = 5,280 feet, then his speed is,

$\rm Speed = \dfrac{50}{97} \ miles \ per \ minute\\\\ Speed = \dfrac{50}{97} \times 5280 \\\\ Speed= \dfrac{26,400}{97}\ feet \ per \ minute$

And 1 minute = 60 seconds, then his speed is,

$\rm Speed= \dfrac{26,400}{97}\ feet \ per \ minute\\\\ Speed= \dfrac{26,400}{97} \times \dfrac{1}{60} \\\\ Speed = \dfrac{4400}{97} \ feet \ per \ second \\\\ Speed = 45.36 \ feet \ per \ second$

Hence, The most accurate determination for the number of 45.36 feet per second Tyrone traveled on his way to work.
