Question

Sara can run 49 yards in 7 seconds. At that rate, how many feet can she run in 3 minutes?

Answer 1

3780 feet

Explanation:

49/7*60*3(be careful that it is 3 minutes,not seconds)

=1260

Now,we have to convert yards into feet.

1260 yards = 3780 feet

Because feet is three times yard.

Hope this answer helps! ;)

Answer 2

Distance ran by Sara in 3 minutes is 3780 feet.

Explanation:

We know that,

1 yard = 3 feet

So, 49 yards = 49 × 3 feet = 147 feet

Now, it is given that Sara can run 49 yards in 7 seconds. So, we can say that, Sara can run 147 feet in 7 seconds

So, distance ran by Sara in 7 seconds = 49 yards = 147 feet

Now, distance ran by Sara in 1 second = (147 ÷ 7) feet = 21 feet

Now, 1 min = 60 sec, then 3 min = 3 × 60 sec = 180 sec

So, distance ran by Sara in 3 min or 180 sec = 21 × 180 = 3780 feet

∴ distance ran by Sara in 3 minutes is 3780 feet.
