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.
