It will take you 150 seconds or 2 minutes and 30 seconds

Answer:

Moving walkway will take 150 seconds  to transport you 270 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

\(Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}\)

As given

A moving walkway at the airport moves at a pace of 1.8 feet per second.

Speed = 1.8 feet per second

Distance = 270 feet

Putting all the values in the formula

\(1.8= \frac{270}{Time}\)

Time = 1.8 × 270

Time = 150 seconds

Therefore moving walkway will take 150 seconds  to transport you 270 feet .
