Answer:
12 m/s
Explanation:
Speed can be found using the following formula.
[tex]s = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
where s is speed, d is distance traveled and t is the time.
We know that Cynthia sprinted 60 meters in 5 seconds. Therefore, the distance is 60 meters and the time is 5 seconds.
d=60
t=5
Substitute these values into the formula.
[tex]s=\frac{60}{5}[/tex]
Divide
[tex]s=12[/tex]
Add appropriate units. For this problem, the appropriate units would be meters per second, or m/s.
[tex]s=12 m/s[/tex]
Cynthia's speed is 12 meters per second.
