Can I get algebra help please? I really need it.

Question

The question is, "The speed of sound is 1088 feet per second at sea level at 32 F. Write and solve an equation to find the distance sound travels in 8 seconds under these conditions."

Answer 1

Sound moves at 1088 ft per second under the

given conditions.  We need to know how far 

the sound will travel in 8 seconds.

 

Since they are not changing the conditions this

is merely a multiplication problem

 

(1088 ft/sec)(8 sec) = 8704 ft
