Lainey is sliding down a water slide that is 376 feet long at a rate of 47 feet per second. How long will it take Lainey to travel from the top to the bottom of the slide?

Answer :

Answer:

8 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the water slide is 376 feet and Lainey is sliding down at a rate of 47 feet per second. That is her speed.

Speed is given as distance divided by time or the time rate of displacement.

Therefore, time is:

Time = distance / speed

Therefore, the time it will take Lainey to get from the top to the bottom is:

Time = 376 / 47 = 8 seconds

It will take her 8 seconds to get from the top to the bottom.
