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

Explanation:

Step1: Find original speed

Speed = Distance / Time, so original speed is $\frac{960}{5} = 192$ m/min.

Step2: Find new speed

New speed = Original speed + 20, so new speed is $192 + 20 = 212$ m/min.

Step3: Find distance in 10 minutes

Distance = Speed × Time, so distance is $212 × 10 = 2120$ meters.

Answer:

2120
