Question

A player runs 80 yard in 25 seconds if he maintains the same speed how far he could run in 60 seconds

Answer 1

192 yards

Explanation:

you have to set up a proportion in which its d/t

so you would have 80/25 = d/60

do cross product and you get 192

Answer 2

The player can run 192 yards in 60 seconds.

Solution:

Given, A player runs 80 yard in 25 seconds

We have to find if he maintains the same speed how far he could run in 60 seconds

Now, from given information

25 seconds ⇒ 80 yards

Then, 60 seconds ⇒ “n” yards

By criss cross multiplication, we get

`\begin{array}{l}{25 * n=80 * 60} \\\\ {n=(80 * 60)/(25)=(80 * 12)/(5)} \\\\ {n=16 * 12=192}\end{array}`

Hence, the player can run 192 yards in 60 seconds.
