Answer 1

Answer:

72.033 ft

Step-by-step 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.

$\frac{18.47}{1}=\frac{y}{3.9}$

Step 1: Switch sides

$\frac{y}{3.9}=\frac{18.47}{1}$

Step 2: Apply rule: $\frac{a}{1}=a$

$\frac{y}{3.9}=18.47$

Step 3: Multiply both sides by $3.9$

$\frac{3.9y}{3.9}=18.47\cdot \:3.9$

Step 4: Simplify

$y=72.033$

The bear can run 72.033 feet in 3.9 seconds
