In a river, a trout passed beneath a woman who was swimming at 1,800 centimeters per minute. The trout swam 8,000centimeters directly upstream at a constant velocity. It swam that distance in 0.8minutes. What was the trout's velocity?

Write your answer as a whole number.

centimeters per minute upstream


Sagot :

Answer:

It would approximately be 3.73 m/h

Step-by-step explanation:

0.8 mins is 48 seconds

I then divided 8000 by 48 seconds to see how many cm it traveled per second.

It traveled 166.666666667 cm per second

I then converted cm to feet

so it was 5.468066491699474 feet per second

I then converted feet to miles, so it was 0.0010356186537309611598 miles per second.

Then I multiplied it by 60 so it was 0.06213711922 miles per minute.

Finally I multiplied it by 60 again to make it 3.72822715343 miles per hour.

I rounded it to the nearest hundredth making it 3.73 m/h
