Question

harry is riding a skateboard 3,000 meters northeast of the miller familys mailbox. if he rides his skateboard at a constant velocity of 150 meters per minute to the southwest, how much time will it take him to get halfway to the miller familys mailbox? write your answer as a whole number. minutes

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the distance to travel

The total distance is \(3000\) meters. Half - way distance \(d=\frac{3000}{2}=1500\) meters.

Step2: Use the formula \(t = \frac{d}{v}\)

Given velocity \(v = 150\) meters per minute. Time \(t=\frac{1500}{150}\)

$$t=\frac{1500}{150}=10$$

Answer:

\(10\)
