Question

a
75 seconds
b
4800 seconds
c
48 seconds
d
1.3 seconds.

Answer 1

To calculate the time it takes Amelia to complete a race of 600 meters at an average speed of 8 meters per second, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]

Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Time} = \frac{600 \text{ meters}}{8 \text{ meters/second}} = 75 \text{ seconds}
\]

Thus, the answer is:

**a** 75 seconds.
