A snowboarder traveled at a speed of 12 meters per second for 15 seconds. How far did the snowboarder travel?
18 meters
27 meters
180 meters
270 meters

Respuesta :

multiply 12 by 15

12 x 15 = 180 meters total

The correct answer is C. 180 meters

Explanation:

The general formula to calculate distance is Distance = Speed x Time. This implies if you multiply the speed (rate of motion) by the time (seconds, minutes, etc) you can know the total distance traveled. In the case presented this means Distance = 12 meters per second (speed) x 15 seconds (time). Thus, the distance the snowboarder traveled was 180 meters as 12x 15 = 180. Also, the distance is expressed in meters because the unit used in the steed is meters per second.
