The correct Answer is:
To find the speed of the ant in centimeters per second (cm/s), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Distance and Time**: - The distance covered by the ant is given as 1 meter. - The time taken to cover this distance is given as 10 seconds. 2. **Convert Distance from Meters to Centimeters**: - We know that 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters. - Therefore, the distance in centimeters is: \[ \text{Distance} = 1 \text{ meter} = 100 \text{ cm} \] 3. **Use the Speed Formula**: - The formula for speed is: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \] 4. **Substitute the Values into the Formula**: - Substitute the distance (100 cm) and time (10 seconds) into the speed formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{100 \text{ cm}}{10 \text{ s}} \] 5. **Calculate the Speed**: - Now, perform the division: \[ \text{Speed} = 10 \text{ cm/s} \] 6. **Conclusion**: - The speed of the ant is 10 centimeters per second. ### Final Answer: The speed of the ant is **10 cm/s**.
