If a person walks 21 feet in 7 seconds how long does it take to walk 180 feet
21/7 = 3 feet/second
180/3 = ?
60
21
To find out how long it takes to walk 180 feet, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.
We know that the person walks 21 feet in 7 seconds. Let's call the unknown time it takes to walk 180 feet as "x" seconds.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
21 feet / 7 seconds = 180 feet / x seconds
To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply and solve for "x":
21x = 180 * 7
Multiplying 180 by 7 gives us 1260:
21x = 1260
Now, let's isolate "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 21:
x = 1260 / 21
Simplifying the right side of the equation gives us:
x = 60
Therefore, it would take 60 seconds to walk 180 feet based on the information provided.
