while you are driving along at 50 km/hr your attention wanders for 1/2 sec, how far do you travel "blind" in that half second?

and the answer needs to be in meters

.5 seconds is approximately 14 thousandths of 1% of one hour, or .00014 (.5 / 3600)
50km is 50,000 meters.
50,000 meters times .00014 = 7 meters
You would travel "blind" for approximately 7 meters

0.0069444 km in 1/2 second
50km/60 min=0.8333km/min
0.8333/60=0.0138888 km/sec
0.0138888/2=0.0069444

50km = 50000m
1/2 sec = 1hour / (60minutes x 60 seconds x 2 halves) = 7200
50000 / 7200 = 6.94m

hmmm
50 KPH = 50,000 meters per hour
50,000 / 60 minutes per hour = 833.333.... meters per minute
833.333... / 60 seconds per minute = 13.888... meters per second.
13.888... / 2 = 6.9444... meters traveled in one half second.
