To calculate how long it would take a jaguar to travel 100 yards, we need to convert yards to feet, since the speed of the jaguar 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 that we know the distance is 300 feet, we can find the time it takes the jaguar to travel that distance at a speed of 50 feet per second.
To calculate the time, we use the formula:
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \]
So,
\[ \text{Time} = \frac{300 \text{ feet}}{50 \text{ feet/second}} = 6 \text{ seconds} \]
It would take the jaguar 6 seconds to travel 100 yards.
