To find out how long it would take Lizbeth to run 400 yards, we can set up a proportion:
140 yards / 35 seconds = 400 yards / x seconds
Cross multiplying, we get:
140 * x = 35 * 400
Simplifying:
140x = 14,000
Dividing both sides by 140, we get:
x = 100
Therefore, it would take Lizbeth 100 seconds to run 400 yards.
140 yards / 35 seconds = 400 yards / x seconds
Cross multiplying, we get:
140 * x = 35 * 400
Simplifying:
140x = 14,000
Dividing both sides by 140, we get:
x = 100
Therefore, it would take Lizbeth 100 seconds to run 400 yards.
