Under certain conditions, sound travels at approximately 1080 feet per second.

If Marsala yells down a canyon and hears her echo 1.7 seconds later, approximately how deep is the canyon?

As Mifc8 said, one can easily do 1.7*1080=1836 feet.

What is an equation ?
An equation is a n expression th at shows the** relationship** between two or more variables and numbers.
Sound travels at approximately 1080 feet per second . Hence:
Marsala hears her echo 1.7 seconds later, hence:
Total distance = 1080 * 1.7 = 1836 feet
Depth of canyon = 1836 / 2 = **918 feet **

The depth of the canyon is approximately 918 feet, calculated by first finding the total distance sound traveled and then dividing that by 2 to account for the echo's return journey. The total time for the echo was 1.7 seconds, and the speed of sound is 1080 feet per second. Using the formula for distance, we computed the depth effectively.
