Answer:

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
