The running back can run 40 yards in 4.8 seconds, which can be expressed as a ratio of 40 yards / 4.8 seconds.
To find out how far the running back can go in 6 seconds, we can set up a proportion:
40 yards / 4.8 seconds = x yards / 6 seconds
Cross-multiplying, we get:
4.8 seconds * x yards = 40 yards * 6 seconds
4.8x = 240
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.8:
x = 240 / 4.8
x = 50
Therefore, the running back can go 50 yards in 6 seconds.
