a Jaguar can travel at a speed of 50 feet per second to find out how long it would take the jaguar to travel 100 yards we would need to convert yards to what unit

1 answer

To find out how long it would take a jaguar to travel 100 yards at a speed of 50 feet per second, you need to convert yards to feet.

Since 1 yard equals 3 feet, you can calculate:

100 yards x 3 feet/yard = 300 feet.

Now, you can use this information to determine the time it would take for the jaguar to travel 300 feet at a speed of 50 feet per second.

The time can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}. \]

So in this case, the time would be:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{300 \text{ feet}}{50 \text{ feet/second}} = 6 \text{ seconds}. \]

Thus, it would take the jaguar 6 seconds to travel 100 yards.
