An ant can run at an average speed of 0.083 meters per second, calculate how long it would take an ant to run 100 meter dash in seconds and in minutes

The time taken by the ant is 1204.82 seconds or 20.08 minutes

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of the ant (s) = 0.083 m/s

Distance traveled by the ant (D) = 100 m

We know that distance traveled by a body is equal to the product of the speed of the body and the time taken for its travel.

Let the time taken by the ant be 't' seconds.

Now, as per the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

⇒ 100 m = 0.083 m/s × t

⇒

Now, we know that,

60 seconds = 1 minute

So, 1 second =

Therefore,

Hence, the time taken by the ant is 1204.82 seconds or 20.08 minutes
