Question

A student runs 100 meters in 11 seconds. What is the speed of the student?

speed = distance over time; 1 mile = 1609 meters

Answer 1

It it is distance over time, then divide 100 \(\div\) 11.

Answer 2

please, note that if the motion of the student is uniform, namely the speed is constant, you have to apply this formula:
\[speed=\frac{ d }{ t }\]
where d is the distance traveled by the student, and t is time

Answer 3

@Elise_a18 What is 100 \(\div\) 11?

Answer 4

@Michele_Laino @AnswerMyQuestions I know that, it already tells me to divide 100/11. I need help setting up the rest of the equation.

Answer 5

?

Answer 6

....I need help setting up the rest of the equation.

Answer 7

So you need help dividing 100 \(\div\) 11?

Answer 8

no, you think I'm stupid? I NEED HELP SETTING UP THE REST OF THE EQUATION- WHICH GOES WHERE, WHAT GOES ON TOP

Answer 9

The answer will be in Miles per hour

Answer 10

@AnswerMyQuestions

Answer 11

Please, in order to measure your speed in miles/sec, you have to divide the result of your division by 1609 @Elise_a18

Answer 12

Thank you. @AnswerMyQuestions did not tell me that

Answer 13

Thank you! @Elise_a18

Answer 14

is that it?

Answer 15

that's all

Answer 16

so now it is somehow automatically in miles per hour instead of km per second?

Answer 17

@Michele_Laino

Answer 18

please note that in order to measure the speed in miles/hours, you have to multiply your last result by 3600, sinc 1hour=3600 sec
