A car is traveling at a rate of 99 kilometers per hour. What is the car's rate in meters per second? How many meters will the car travel in 10 seconds?

The answer is 16.5 meters in 10 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

First you divide 99 by 60 seconds

When you get 1.65 you multiply it by 10 second.

When you multiply 1.65 by 10 second you get 16.5 meters in 10 seconds

The car is traveling at a rate of 27.5 meters per second.

The car will travel 275 meters in 10 seconds.

First, find how many meters per hour it is traveling. There are 1,000 meters in one kilometer, so there are 99,000 meters in 99 kilometers.

Now, find how many meters per minute the car is traveling by dividing 99,000 by 60 to get 1,650 meters per minute.

Finally, divide by 60 again to find the number of meters per second. 1,650 divided by 60 is 27.5, so the car is traveling at a rate of 27.5 meters per second.

To answer the second question, multiply the number of meters per second by the number of seconds to get the number of meters. 27.5 meters per second times 10 seconds is 275 meters in 10 seconds.
