Question

Danni race cars at her local race track. She drove her red car 40 m in five seconds if she drives the same car at the same rate how fast will she be able to complete a race that is 600 m

Answer 1

To determine how long it will take Danni to complete a 600 m race at the same rate, we first need to calculate her speed.

From the information given:
- Distance covered = 40 m
- Time taken = 5 seconds

Now, we can calculate her speed using the formula:
\[
\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{40 \text{ m}}{5 \text{ s}} = 8 \text{ m/s}
\]

Now that we know her speed is 8 m/s, we can calculate the time it will take her to complete a 600 m race:

Using the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{600 \text{ m}}{8 \text{ m/s}} = 75 \text{ seconds}
\]

Therefore, Danni will take **75 seconds** to complete the 600 m race at the same speed.
