Answer :
Final answer:
By multiplying the distance the biker travels in 0.5 seconds (5 feet) by the number of half-seconds in a minute (120), we find that the biker will travel 600 feet in one minute. So, the correct option is C.
Explanation:
To determine how far a biker will travel in a minute at a constant speed, we can use the relationship between distance, speed, and time. The given information indicates that the biker travels 5 feet in 0.5 seconds. Since 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, we first need to calculate how many half-seconds there are in a minute. There are 120 half-seconds in a minute (60 seconds divided by 0.5).
To find out how far the biker will travel in a minute, we then multiply the distance covered in half a second by the number of half-seconds in a minute:
Distance in 1 minute = 5 feet per 0.5 second * 120
Distance in 1 minute = 600 feet
Therefore, at this exact speed, the biker will travel 600 feet in a minute, which corresponds to option 3.
