Average speed of 100m in 9.6 seconds

[rustic wind]

I would have to transform it into 1000/96
However, in the account 1000, I divide it by 96, you would put 1 to make it look like this, because you cannot go straight to 1000, you would have to start with 100.

1000/96
96 1

that would be 4 then add the 0 to 1000 and it becomes 40
1000/96
92 | 1
4 0
So how does it turn out to be 10.4 m/s if you would have to put the decimal point after the 1 to be able to transform the 40 into 400? (which would give the wrong result).
1000/96
96 1,
4 0 0
I can't understand this.
I would really have to start at 1000 like this:
1000/96
960 10
and continue the account??

You seem confused....

If you wanna travel 100m in 9.6 seconds, then you gotta travel 1000/96 m in 1 second.

And 1000/96 is the same as 10.4166666...

And if you round that, you get 10.4

So what exactly is your question?

[rustic wind]

Would I have to round the 1.4 to 10.4?

[tropic snow]

Where's that 1.4 coming from now?

[rustic wind]

in my calculations it gave:

1 0 0 0 /96
96 | 1.4
400
384

Why do all that tho?

Since you're asking for the avverage speed, all you gotta do is divide the total distance to cover by the total time taken

A change of speed is irrelevant for your task, so don't worry about it

[rustic wind]

That's what I did bro

[tropic snow]

I mean, just go:

[tropic snow]

Simplify first and then do the fraction at the end

[rustic wind]

going with 960 instead of 96?

[tropic snow]

I didn't do long division, so I just factored out 10/1 from 1000/96

And then I rephrased it

Ahh I understand now thx

sorry for the inconvenience

I will close the post
