You can put this solution on YOUR website! To solve problems like this, it's important to know the formula involving distance, rate, and time.
Distance = rate * time. That's all there is to it.
Since we know that distance is 336 ft and the rate is 28 feet per second, we can substitute the values into the equation and just solve for time.
336 ft = 28 ft/sec * x where x is the time.
Divide each side by 28ft/sec to isolate the x variable. When we do this type of operation, the ft divide out and we are left with seconds.
12 seconds = x. Therefore the time is 12 seconds.
