Question

a horse is 4,130 meters south of a river. if the horse runs at a constant velocity of 236 meters per minute to the north, how much time will it take the horse to reach the river? write your answer to the tenths place. minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the speed - time - distance formula

The formula is $t=\frac{d}{v}$, where $t$ is time, $d$ is distance, and $v$ is velocity.

Step2: Identify values of $d$ and $v$

Here, $d = 4130$ meters and $v=236$ meters per minute.

Step3: Calculate the time

$t=\frac{4130}{236}\approx17.5$ minutes

Answer:

$17.5$
