To determine how long it will take for William's football to travel 120 feet at a rate of 60 feet per second, we can use the formula for time, which is:
[tex]\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \][/tex]
Let's break it down step-by-step:
1. Identify the given values:
- Speed (rate): 60 feet per second
- Distance: 120 feet
2. Substitute the given values into the time formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Time} = \frac{120 \text{ feet}}{60 \text{ feet per second}} \][/tex]
3. Perform the division:
[tex]\[ \text{Time} = 2 \text{ seconds} \][/tex]
So the football will take 2 seconds to travel 120 feet.
Thus, the correct answer is:
- A) 2 sec.
