Answer 1

72.033 feet is ur answerr

Answer 2

72.033 ft

Explanation:

To find this, let us set up a fraction. Since 18.47 = 1 second, y = is 3.9 seconds. Let "y" be the variable.

`(18.47)/(1)=(y)/(3.9)`

Step 1: Switch sides

`(y)/(3.9)=(18.47)/(1)`

Step 2: Apply rule:
`(a)/(1)=a`

`(y)/(3.9)=18.47`

Step 3: Multiply both sides by
`3.9`

`(3.9y)/(3.9)=18.47\cdot \:3.9`

Step 4: Simplify

`y=72.033`

The bear can run 72.033 feet in 3.9 seconds
