The time it would take for the object to travel 108 centimeters at a constant speed of 12 cm/s is 9 seconds.
Explicação
## Step 1This problem involves the concept of speed, distance, and time. The relationship between these three quantities is given by the formula:### **Speed = Distance / Time**## Step 2In this problem, we are given the speed (12 cm/s) and the distance (108 cm), and we are asked to find the time. We can rearrange the formula to solve for time:### **Time = Distance / Speed**## Step 3Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:### **Time = 108 cm / 12 cm/s**## Step 4Performing the division, we find that the time is 9 seconds.
