Question

1. a person is walking at a rate of 9 feet every 4 seconds. what is their speed? (the unit rate of the distance they traveled per second). given this rate, how far would this person travel in 14 seconds?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate speed

Speed is distance divided by time. Given distance = 9 feet and time = 4 seconds, speed $v=\frac{9}{4}=2.25$ feet per second.

Step2: Calculate distance in 14 seconds

We know speed $v = 2.25$ feet per second and time $t=14$ seconds. Using the formula $d = v\times t$, we have $d=2.25\times14 = 31.5$ feet.

Answer:

31.5 feet
