Andy runs 436.8 meters in 62.08 seconds. If Andy runs at a constant speed, how can we find out how far he runs in each second? Explain what is happening mathematically to the decimal points in the divisor and dividend before dividing. Do not solve, just explain how you would begin to set up your problem. *

Answer:

7 meters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Andy runs 436.8 meters in 62.08 seconds.

We need to find how far he run in each second. It can be calculated by dividing distance by time taken as follows :

[tex]x=\dfrac{436.8\ m}{62.08\ s}\\\\=7.03\ m/s[/tex]

or

x = 7 m/s

So, Andy will cover 7 meters per second.
