To find out how long it would take the jaguar to travel 100 yards at a speed of 50 feet per second, you need to convert yards to feet, since the jaguar's speed is given in feet per second.
1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Therefore, to convert 100 yards to feet:
\[ 100 \text{ yards} \times 3 \text{ feet/yard} = 300 \text{ feet} \]
Now you can calculate the time it takes to travel 300 feet at a speed of 50 feet per second.
Using the formula \( \text{time} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \):
\[ \text{time} = \frac{300 \text{ feet}}{50 \text{ feet/second}} = 6 \text{ seconds} \]
So, you need to convert yards to feet to find the time it takes for the jaguar to travel 100 yards. The time it would take is 6 seconds.
