How much farther does the car travel when drunk?

Question

Alcohol consumption slows people’s reaction times. In a controlled government
study, it takes the average driver 0.32 s to hit the brakes in a crises and 1.1 s when
drunk. When a car is traveling at a constant speed of 90 km/h, how much farther does
the car travel before the brakes are applied for the person that is drunk compared to
the person that is sober? Express your answer in meters and feet.

Answer 1

it takes the average driver 0.32 s to hit the brakes in a crises and 1.1 s when
drunk

1.1 s - 0.32 s = 0.78 s longer when drunk

90 km/h x  1 hr/ 60 min  x  1 min/60 sec x 0.78 sec = .0195 km further
