Explanation

Choice A is correct. If the object travels $108$ centimeters at a speed of $12$ centimeters per second, the time of travel can be determined by dividing the total distance by the speed. This results in $StartFraction 108 centimeters Over 12 centimeters slash second EndFraction$ , which is $9$ seconds.

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
