Answer: The speed of the dog is 8 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is defined as the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken.

To calculate the distance traveled by boat, we use the equation:


\text{Speed of the dog}=\frac{\text{Distance traveled}}{\text{Time taken}}

We are given:

Distance traveled by dog = 40 ft

Time taken = 5 seconds

Putting values in above equation, we get:


\text{Speed of the dog}=(40ft)/(5s)\\\\\text{Speed of the dog}=8ft/s

Hence, the speed of the dog is 8 ft/s
