An athlete runs with velocity 40 km/h for 5 minutes, 40 km/h for the next 2 minutes, and 12 km/h for another 3 minutes. Compute the total distance traveled.

Question

zzr0ck3r · Answer

distance = rate * time
you have three legs
first leg: rate = 40 time = 5
distance = rate * time so 
distance for the first leg is 200

do this for the other two legs and add them together

what did you get for the second leg?

anonymous · Answer

40*2=80 then 12*3=36 added all together 316

zzr0ck3r · Answer

o sorry you need to readjust for the rate because its by the hour
so 5 min = 5/60 of an hour
so
leg 1
40(5/60)
