A certain running back can run 40 yards in 4.8 seconds. How far can the running back go at the same speed in 6 seconds?(1 point)
To find the distance the running back can go in 6 seconds, we can use a proportion.
The distance the running back can go in 4.8 seconds is 40 yards.
So the distance the running back can go in 1 second is 40/4.8 = 8.33 yards.
Therefore, the distance the running back can go in 6 seconds is 8.33 * 6 = 49.98 yards.
Rounded to the nearest yard, the running back can go approximately 50 yards in 6 seconds.
To find out how far the running back can go in 6 seconds at the same speed, we'll use the formula: distance = speed x time.
Given that the running back runs 40 yards in 4.8 seconds, we can calculate their speed:
Speed = distance / time
Speed = 40 yards / 4.8 seconds
Speed = 8.33 yards/second (rounded to two decimal places)
Now, we can use this speed to calculate the distance the running back can cover in 6 seconds:
Distance = speed x time
Distance = 8.33 yards/second x 6 seconds
Distance = 49.98 yards (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the running back can go approximately 49.98 yards in 6 seconds at the same speed.
To find out how far the running back can go in 6 seconds, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed x Time.
In this case, the given speed is 40 yards in 4.8 seconds. We need to calculate the speed in yards per second before using the formula.
To find the speed in yards per second, we divide the total distance (40 yards) by the total time (4.8 seconds):
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 40 yards / 4.8 seconds
Speed ≈ 8.33 yards per second (rounded to two decimal places)
Now that we know the speed, we can use the formula Distance = Speed x Time to find the distance the running back can go in 6 seconds:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 8.33 yards per second x 6 seconds
Distance ≈ 49.98 yards (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the running back can go approximately 49.98 yards in 6 seconds at the same speed.
