Given:

A person on a moving sidewalk travels 24 feet the in 7 seconds.

The moving side walk has a length of 180 feet.

To find:

Time taken by the person to move from one end to the other.

Solution:

A person on a moving sidewalk travels 24feet the in 7 seconds.

The speed of the person is

$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

$\text{Speed}=(24)/(7)$

The moving side walk has a length of 180 feet.

$\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

$\text{Time}=(180)/((24)/(7))$

$\text{Time}=(180)/(1)* (7)/(24)$

$\text{Time}=52.5$

Therefore, the time taken by the person to move from one end to the other is 52.5 seconds.
