Answer:

30

Explanation:

If he runs 5 yards every 3 seconds than he runs 10 yards every 6 seconds

There are 3 feet in a yard

3 x 10 = 30

Answer:

30 feet

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to convert yards to feet and find the rate of running in feet per second. There are 3 feet in 1 yard, so 5 yards is equal to 15 feet. Keith runs 15 feet every 3 seconds, so his rate is 15/3 = 5 feet per second. To find how many feet he runs in 6 seconds, we multiply his rate by the time. So he runs:

5 * 6 = 30 feet

hope this helps :)
