Question

1. a professional lpga golfer walks at an average rate of 3.20 feet per second on the golf course. the amount of time required for her to walk from the tee to a green 612 feet away is: a. 0.544 minutes. b. 1.91 minutes. c. 1,958 seconds. d. 191 seconds.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall speed - time - distance formula

We know that $time=\frac{distance}{speed}$.

Step2: Substitute given values

Given distance $d = 612$ feet and speed $v=3.20$ feet per second. So, $t=\frac{612}{3.20}= 191.25$ seconds.

Step3: Convert seconds to minutes (optional for checking all options)

$191.25$ seconds. To convert to minutes, we know that $1$ minute = $60$ seconds. So $t=\frac{191.25}{60}\approx3.19$ minutes.

Answer:

d. 191 seconds.
