Aubrey can walk 3000 feet in 10 minutes. Walking at the same rate, how many feet can she walk in 10 seconds?

Question

Accepted Answer

First, convert the time walked from minutes to seconds so that the units match: 10 minutes = 10 × 60 seconds = 600 seconds Next, find Aubrey's walking rate in feet per second: Rate = 3,000 feet ⁄ 600 seconds = 5 feet per second Now, calculate how far she can walk in 10 seconds at this rate: Distance = Rate × Time = 5 feet/second × 10 seconds = 50 feet.
