You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If a log travels 50 feet in 20 seconds.
50/20 = 2.5 ft/sec
---------------
After 15 seconds it has traveled 40 feet.
That doesn't fit.
d = r*t
d = 2.5 ft/sec * 15 = 37.5 feet, not 40 feet.
---------
how many feet will it travel in the next 5 seconds?

idk. Is this 1 problem, or 3?
