Question

Jared can run 520 yards in one minute. how fast does he run in feet per second answer key

Answer 1

Jared can run 1560 feet in one minute. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, Jared runs at a speed of 26 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how fast Jared runs in feet per second, we need to convert yards to feet and minutes to seconds. There are 3 feet in a yard, so 520 yards is the same as 1560 feet. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so we will divide the total feet run by the total seconds per minute to find the speed in feet per second.

Firstly, calculate the total feet run: 520 yards * 3 feet/yard = 1560 feet.

Then, calculate the feet per second: 1560 feet / 60 seconds = 26 feet per second.

Answer 2

Jared can run 520 yards in one minute and you are asked to change the unit to feet/second. One yard will be equal to 3 feet. One minute equal to 60 seconds. Then, the speed would be:
(520 yards/minute )* (3 feet/yard) / (60 second/minute)= 26 feet/second
