Answer:

40 seconds

Explanation:

A unicorn is running at rate of 3 meters/second. To find how long it'll take to get at the end of a 120 meter rainbow, we'll have to find the "time".

The distance is given to be 120 meters and speed is given as 3 meters/second.

Our formula for speed is:

[tex]\displaystyle{v = \dfrac{s}{t}}[/tex]

where v is speed, s is distance and t is time:

[tex]\displaystyle{3 = \dfrac{120}{t}}[/tex]

Solve for t, multiply both sides by t:

[tex]\displaystyle{3 \cdot t= \dfrac{120}{t}\cdot t}\\\\\displaystyle{3t= 120}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3:

[tex]\displaystyle{\dfrac{3t}{3} = \dfrac{120}{3}}\\\\\displaystyle{t= 40 \ \, \sf{seconds}}[/tex]

Therefore, it will take 40 seconds for a unicorn to reach at the end of rainbow.
