a football player can run 20 yards in 3.4 seconds. write an equation to find y, the number of yards the football player can run in a second?
i can't seem to figure this one out??
3.4y = 20
thank you
You're welcome.
3.4y=20
you are correct i just needed help in this problem .thank you .
what is 3.4/ 20
To find the number of yards the football player can run in a second, let's set up an equation:
Let y represent the number of yards the football player can run in a second.
According to the problem, the football player can run 20 yards in 3.4 seconds. This means that in 1 second, they would run 20 divided by 3.4 yards.
Therefore, the equation to find y would be:
y = 20 / 3.4
Simplifying this equation gives us:
y ≈ 5.88
So, the football player can run approximately 5.88 yards in one second.
