The chart below shows how far an object travels over a certain time.

A 3-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled Seconds with entries 4, 8, 12, 16. Column 2 is labeled Inches with entries 18, 36, 54, 72. Column 3 is labeled feet with entries 1.5, 3, blank, 6.

After 12 seconds, how far, in feet, will the object travel?

It will travel
feet.

1 answer

According to the table you provided, after 12 seconds, the object has traveled 54 inches.

To convert inches to feet, you can use the conversion factor that 12 inches equals 1 foot.

So, to find out how far the object travels in feet after 12 seconds, you can calculate:

\[ \text{Feet} = \frac{\text{Inches}}{12} = \frac{54}{12} = 4.5 \text{ feet} \]

Therefore, after 12 seconds, the object will travel 4.5 feet.
