The speed of one type of bullet is 200 meters per second. How long would it take the bullet to travel 5,000 meters?

Question

 please solve this problem for its for think through math which i am very horrible at

Answer 1

This is a type of D-I-R-T (Distance-Is-Rate-times-Time) problem.  D=RT

 

This problem asks you to determine time ("how long?").  Solving for T:

     T = D/R

 

    T = (5000 m) / (200 m/s)         [put values in equation]

    T = (5000 m) * [(1 sec)/(200 m)]     [to divide by fraction, invert and multiply]

    T = (5000/200) sec             [note: m cancels]

    T = 25 sec
