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

Question

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.

Answer 1

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.
