Problema Solution
A dragonfly, the fastest insect, can fly a distance of 50 feet at a speed of 25 feet per second. Find the time in seconds. Write the equation in the form d=rt, then solve.
Answer provided by our tutors
distance = rate * time
50 feet at a rate of 25 feet/second are used to solve for time, so let 't' represent time:
50=25t
t=2
So the dragonfly covers 50 feet in 2 seconds.
