To determine how long it will take to walk to Room 117, given that you walk at a speed of 4.4 feet per second, let's break it down step-by-step.
### Step 1: Identify the Distance to Room 117
Assume the room number corresponds to the distance in feet. Therefore, the distance to Room 117 is 117 feet.
### Step 2: Calculate the Time in Seconds
To find out how much time it takes to walk 117 feet at a speed of 4.4 feet per second, you use the formula for time, which is:
[tex]\[ \text{time} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \][/tex]
Plugging in the values:
[tex]\[ \text{time in seconds} = \frac{117 \, \text{feet}}{4.4 \, \text{feet per second}} \][/tex]
Performing this division, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{time in seconds} \approx 26.59090909090909 \][/tex]
### Step 3: Convert Time from Seconds to Minutes
Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, you convert the time from seconds to minutes by dividing the time in seconds by 60:
[tex]\[ \text{time in minutes} = \frac{26.59090909090909 \, \text{seconds}}{60} \][/tex]
Performing this division, we get:
[tex]\[ \text{time in minutes} \approx 0.4431818181818182 \][/tex]
### Summary
- It will take approximately 26.59 seconds to walk to Room 117.
- When converted to minutes, this equals approximately 0.44 minutes.
So, it will take you about 26.59 seconds or approximately 0.44 minutes to get to Room 117.
