Question from Niecey: If Greg was timed at 0.91 seconds for 10 meters running the 100 meter dash, at that speed, could he pass a car traveling 15 miles per hour in a school zone? |
Hi Niecey,
In 0.91 seconds Greg travels 10 meters so that's 10/0.91 meters/sec. Your task is to express that in miles per hour. The units tell you want to do
The remaining unites are miles/hour. You can fill in the appropriate numbers in the empty boxes and complete the calculation.
