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)

Answer 1

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.
