Renne · Answer

The thing looks like this......i think i'm supposed to divid somthing but i'm not sure WHAT i'm supposed to divide....

Tranquility · Answer

From your previous question

5.3 is already rounded to the nearest tenths place but 5.0 or 5.3 isn't the correct answer to your question

Speed is distance over time

Distance = 10 m
Time = 5.3 sec

Speed = distance / time

= 10 / 5.3 = ??

ughh i don't understand.....

Renne · Answer

It's not making any since at all!

Tranquility · Answer

Do you see that we're trying to calculate the speed?

Renne · Answer

Yes i do!

Treybepopp1n · Answer

use  a rounding calculator

Tranquility · Answer

Speed is equal to the distance you travel divided by the time it takes you to travel

Take a look at the units of it as well.

Speed has a units of M/S
M stands for meters
S stands for seconds

Your question gives you the distance in meters and the time in seconds. You have to divide the distance of 10 meters by 5.3 seconds

Renne · Answer

so divide 5.3 bye 10?

Tranquility · Answer

Other way around

We want the units to be METERS / SECONDS

10 meters / 5.3 seconds

Tranquility · Answer

Does that make sense? @Renne
