the distance between nick and sara's house is 546m. Nick can walk 1.3m/sec. using the formula d=rt, where d is distance, r is rate, and t is time, how long does it take nick to get to sara's house in minute?

Respuesta :

Rearrange the formula to solve for time. Which is the distance over the rate. Then divide 546 meters by 1.3 meters per second. The meter units cancel each other out leaving you with : t: 420.
1.3 mile every 1 second
546 miles ..........? seconds

546  /  1.3 = 420 seconds

420 / 60 = 7 minutes (60 seconds = 1 minute)

answer
It takes nick 7 minutes to get to Sara's house
