AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!

since v = fλ, we have
4.5 = 25λ
λ = 0.18 m

in one second 25 waves pass you
time for a wave to pass you = 1/25 of a second
distance it goes in that time = 4.5 / 25 = 0.18 meter

b. 5.6 m

I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct that the wavelength of the water wave is 0.18 m. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
