QuestionJulie swims 50 yards in 250 seconds. What is her speed in yards per second?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Julie swims a distance of50 yards. The time taken to swim this distance is250 seconds

STEP 2

We need to find out how fast Julie is swimming. We can do this by dividing the distance she swims by the time it takes her to swim that distance. This will give us her speed in yards per second.
$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the distance and time to calculate the speed.
$Speed = \frac{50\, yards}{250\, seconds}$

STEP 4

Calculate the speed.
$Speed = \frac{50\, yards}{250\, seconds} =0.2\, yards/second$ Julie swims at a speed of0.2 yards per second.
