How far away was the zombie from the group when he began walking?

Question

A zombie is standing near all the other zombies. He spots a human and begins tripping after it. The zombie left the group 24 seconds ago at an average speed of 3 m/s and is now 50 m away from the group.

Answer 1

Hi Lezly,

 

This zombie goes 3 m/s for 24 seconds. . . I've never seen a zombie walk that fast but I guess he ate his Wheaties.

 

Remember the formula distance = rate x time

 

So Distance = 3 x 24 = 72 meters.

 

He is 50 meters away from the group, so he must have been 22 meters away when he started (72 - 50).
