Amelia swims at an average speed of 8 meters per second, how long will it take her to complete a race of 600 meters length?

Question

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

Answer 1

To calculate the time it takes for Amelia to swim 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:

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

So, the correct answer is b) 75 seconds.
