Two zebras walk into a shopping mall looking for some fashionable eyewear. If it is 500 meters from the entrance to the Sunglasses R Us store, and if they walk at a rate of 2.1 m/s, how long will it take (in seconds) for them to get there?

Answer 1

To find the time it takes for the zebras to walk 500 meters at a rate of 2.1 m/s, we can use the formula:

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

Here, the distance is 500 meters and the speed is 2.1 m/s.

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{500 \text{ meters}}{2.1 \text{ m/s}} \approx 238.1 \text{ seconds} \]

Thus, it will take the zebras approximately 238.1 seconds to reach the Sunglasses R Us store.
