Andre runs for 35 seconds and finishes at -285 meters. What is his velocity?

Question

Four runners start at the same point; Lin, Elena, Diego, Andre. For each runner write a division equation that describes their journey.

Answer 1

285/35 = 57/7 =

about 8.14 meters per second= Andre's velocity or speed

distance = rate of speed times time

velocity = distance divided by time

v = d/t = 285/35 m/sec= 57/7 = 8 1/7 m/sec

for each runner, v=d/t = the distance they ran divided by the time it took
