note: round up your answer to the nearest decimal (1 decimal), and only write the numerical value.

Explanation:

Step1: Use the formula \(t=\frac{d}{v}\)

Here, \(d = 1.199\) meters and \(v=242\) m/s. So, \(t=\frac{1.199}{242}\)

Step2: Calculate the value

\(t=\frac{1.199}{242}=0.004954545\cdots\)

Step3: Round up to 1 decimal

\(0.004954545\cdots\approx0.0\) (since the second - decimal digit is \(0\) which is less than \(5\))

Answer:

\(0.0\)
