    Johnny Rocket can run 300 meters in 90 seconds. If his speed remains constant, how far could he run in 500 seconds? Round to one decimal place.

    Set up the distance equation:
    Distance = Rate * Time
    300 = 90r

    Solving this equation for r, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    r = 3.333

    For 500 seconds, we set up our distance equation again:
    Distance = 500 * 3.333333
    Distance = 1666.7 meters
