if you run 7 miles per hour for 30 seconds, how many yards will you have traveled.
--------
30 seconds = 30/3600 hrs = 1/120 hrs
----
distance = rate* time = 7 mph * (1/120) = 0.05833 miles
---
0.05833 miles = (0.05833)(1760) = 102.67 yards

1760 yards in a mile.
30 seconds is 1/2 minute

r*t=d
7*(1760)/120=102 2/3 yards
