The player can run 192 yards in 60 seconds.

Solution:

Given, A player runs 80 yard in 25 seconds

We have to find if he maintains the same speed how far he could run in 60 seconds

Now, from given information

25 seconds ā‡’ 80 yards

Then, 60 seconds ā‡’ ā€œnā€ yards

By criss cross multiplication, we get


\begin{array}{l}{25 * n=80 * 60} \\\\ {n=(80 * 60)/(25)=(80 * 12)/(5)} \\\\ {n=16 * 12=192}\end{array}

Hence, the player can run 192 yards in 60 seconds.
