<PRE><B>Question 808948</B>
A certain type of bacteria can move at a speed of 220 micrometers per second.
What is the distance,in meters,moved by the bacteria after 12 hours?
---------------
distance = rate*time = (220(m/10^6))( 1/sec)((12*3600 sec)
-----
= (220*12*3600/10^6) meters
-----
= 9.504 meters
