Georgie is a varsity player on a football team. He can run 40 yards within 5 seconds. If he can improve his speed by forty percent, how many yards will he be able to run within 10 seconds? Let's be accurate as possible.
The additional yard he will be able to run to after improving his speed is 40 x 40 / 100 = 16 yards. So the total yard he will be able to run to after improving his speed is 40 + 16 = 56 yards in 5 seconds. Therefore the total yards he will be able to run to within 10 seconds is 56 x 2 = 112.
The answer: 112.
