John and Jane are standing beside a straight road and start their stopwatches at the same time. Jane walks 400 steps down the road. A car travels down the road at a speed v = 27.80 m/s . John, whose stopwatch measures in seconds, reads a time of 24 s when front of the car passes him. Jane, whose stopwatch measures in tenths of seconds, reads a time of 35.2 s when the front of the car passes her. All quantities are given to the correct number of significant figures. What is the distance d between Jane and John to the correct number of significant figures? Recall that d = vt for constant velocity motion.
