Question

ashley walks from building i to building ii at a constant speed of 1.3 m/s. it takes her 2 minutes to get to building ii from building i. what is the distance between the two buildings?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert time to seconds

We know that 1 minute = 60 seconds, so 2 minutes = \(2\times60 = 120\) seconds.

Step2: Use the formula \(d = v\times t\) (distance = speed × time)

Given speed \(v = 1.3\) m/s and time \(t = 120\) s, then distance \(d=1.3\times120 = 156\) meters.

Answer:

The distance between the two buildings is 156 meters.
