Answer to Question #65539 in Algebra for Integers

Question

Ryan walks -935 m at 85 m/min. (the negative signs represents west.) For how long has Ryan been walking?

Answer 1

To move at a constant speed using the formula
d=vt
where d – the distance traveled; v – the speed; t – time.
According to the condition of the problem d=935m (without considering the direction of motion), v=85 m/min. Hence get equation
935=85t → t=935/85=11min.
