IF AN AUTOMOBILE TRAVELS 450 YARDS IN 15 SECONDS,HOW MANY FEET DOES IT GO IN 1/3 OF A SECOND? WHAT MATHMATICAL OPERATIONS DO I USE TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
So in order to figure this out, you first need to figure out how many yards it is going per second. We can easily figure that out by doing 450 / 15. The answer to that is 30. Then, just figure out 1/3 of 30. That is also easy to find, and the answer to that is 10.
So your final answer to this is :
Ft. goes per 1/3 sec : 10 ft.
Operations used : 450 / 15 = 30 ; 1/3 of 30 = 10.
Hope this helped! <3
