Which of the following best represents the average rate at which a person can quickly walk? 3 steps per hours 3 steps per second 30 steps per minute 30 steps per second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathessentials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Last one, I picked B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and D are impossible. We can walk more than 3 steps an hour, and we can't walk 30 steps a second.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, it must be B) everything else is out of this world. 30 steps a second maybe a mouse?? and the other one some frozen turtle.... its B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30 steps a minute sounds average....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm your right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30 steps a minute is half a step a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one step = 2 seconds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's average, right? It asks for quickly walk.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it has to be B...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, C) looks better after al

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since you said 2 steps = 1 second so, quickly walking would be 3 steps = 1 second?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one step = 2 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

These are the exact words of the question: " average rate at which a person can QUICKLY walk:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quickly walk isn't even running huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I don't think so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it was they'd just say "run" or "jog".

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the two choices are: a) he can make 3 steps a second b) he can male 0.5 steps a second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5 steps a second is slow since you said 2 steps = 1 second. And plus it says QUICKLY walk.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30 step per minutes : 1 minute : 60 secs 30 step per 60 secs or (B) 3 steps per 1 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I never said 2 steps = 1 second I said: "one step = 2 seconds"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, sorry. I read it wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only choices they give are 3 steps/s or 0.5 steps/s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and we have to judge which of them is quickly walk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(B) 1 sec = 3 steps 60 secs = 180 steps (C) 60 secs = 30 steps For me its (B) the right answer :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well 0.5 steps is slower than normal so I think it'd be B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I also think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll go with that, see If I get it right . . .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 steps/s is almost running however quickly walking is also almost running

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yeah try B)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YES I GOT IT RIGHT :D
