the lilliputians marched 500 meters in the first 4 hours. For the next 4 hours their Pace was three times faster. What was the total distance traveled by the Li

Question

About the meters and distance and hours

Answer 1

Recall the formula Pace = Distance / Time. 

 

Thus, for the first four hours, the Lilliputians travel at a pace of P = 500 meters / 4 hours = 500/4 meters per hour. 

 

For the next four hours, they travel at a pace: 3*P = 3*(500/4 meters per hour) = 1500/4 meters per hour. 

 

Thus, in those next four hours, the Lilliputians travel: 4 hours * (1500/4 meters per hour) = 1500 meters.

 

In total, they travel 500+1500 meters = 2000 meters.
