<PRE><B>Question 1047020</B>
 the formula for distance traveled d is d=rt, where r is the average speed of the object and t is time traveled. if an object travels 100 meters in 20 seconds, what is its speed 
20 sec = 20/3600 hr = 1/180 hr
-----------------------
rate = distance/time
rate = 100 meters/(1/180)hr = 18,000 meters/hr = 18 km/hr
