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

Answer :

Final answer:

Aubrey can walk 50 feet in 10 seconds, based on her rate of walking 3000 feet in 600 seconds.

Explanation:

To find out how many feet Aubrey can walk in 10 seconds, we first need to understand her walking rate. If Aubrey walks 3000 feet in 10 minutes, we first convert the minutes to seconds to work within the same units. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, 10 minutes is equal to 600 seconds.

The rate at which Aubrey walks is 3000 feet in 600 seconds. To find out how many feet she can walk in one second, we divide the total feet by the total seconds: 3000 feet ÷ 600 seconds = 5 feet per second. Finally, to find out how many feet she can walk in 10 seconds, we multiply her rate by 10 seconds: 5 feet per second × 10 seconds = 50 feet.

Therefore, Aubrey can walk 50 feet in 10 seconds at the same walking rate.
