Car is driving at 30 kilometers per hour. how far in meters does it travel in 3 seconds?

25 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

30 km/hr = (30 km/1 hr)*(1000 m/1 km)*(1 hr/60 min)*(1 min/60 sec)

30 km/hr = (30*1000*1*1)/(1*1*60*60) meters per second

30 km/hr = 8.3333333333 m/s (approximate)

The speed or rate is r = 8.3333333333 meters per second approximately, and the time is t = 3 seconds, so,

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = 8.3333333333 * 3

d = 24.9999999999

Due to rounding error, the true answer should be d = 25. We can see this if we opted to use the fraction from of 8.3333... instead of the decimal representation which isn't a perfect exact measurement.
