A black mamba travels 20 mi/h for 1/4 mile. How many seconds does it take the snake to travle 1/4 mile? Solve the distance formula for time. For which variables in the formula should you substitute 20 and 1/4?
-----------------
1/4 mile at 20 mph takes (1/4)/20 = 1/80 hours = 3/4 minutes = 45 seconds
d = rt
1/4 = 20t
----------------
I hope they don't really go that fast.
