Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

Rate : 0.4 feet per second = 0.4 ft / 1 second

To solve for the missing number in the ratio, set the ratio equal to the given rate:


(0.4ft)/(1sec) =(xft)/(ysec)


(0.4ft)/(1sec)=((3)/(10) ft)/((3)/(x) sec)


(0.4ft)/(1sec) = (0.3ft)/((3)/(x) sec)


0.4ft * (3)/(x) sec = 0.3ft * 1 sec


(3)/(x) =0.3/0.4 = 0.75

3 = 0.75x

x = 3/0.75 = 4 seconds

0.3ft / 0.75 sec = 0.4 ft / 1 sec
