How many times will S decrease from the formula S = vt if v is increased by 5 times and t is decreased by 10 times?

Let us determine how many times s will decrease in the formula s = v * t if v is increased by 5 times, and t is decreased by 10 times.

We get:

v = 5 * v;

t = t / 10;

Let’s write down the distance after we changed the speed and time:

s = 5 * v * t / 10 = 5/10 * v * t = 1/2 * (v * t) = 0.5 * (v * t);

This means that if v is increased by 5 times, and t is decreased by 10 times, then s will decrease by 0.5 times.

Answer: 0.5 times better.
