Answer 1

To find the answer, we can set up a proportion using the distance and time.

Since Danni drove 400 meters in 5 seconds, we can set up the proportion:

400 meters / 5 seconds = 600 meters / x seconds

Cross-multiplying, we get:

400x = 5 * 600
400x = 3000

Dividing both sides by 400, we get:

x = 3000 / 400
x = 7.5 seconds

Therefore, Danni will be able to complete a race that is 600 meters in 7.5 seconds.
