Question 895156: I just got quizzed and failed miserably!
Can some on show me how to find the answer for this ate problem?
If someone walks 7ft in 1/3 secs how many feet would they walk in 5 secs?
Math was not my best subject in school.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
7' in 1/3 of a second?
How fast would they walk in a full second? 3x as far (1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3)
In one second, they walk 21'
21' in one second means 5x as much in 5 seconds
21' * 5 = 105'
That's REALLY fast.
(Math was not my best subject either ;-))
