Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Ms. Reznik jogs at a constant speed.
2. The distance she jogs is directly proportional to the time spent jogging.
3. We need to find out how many feet she can jog in 8 minutes.

STEP 2

1. Determine the jogging rate (feet per minute).
2. Calculate the distance jogged in 8 minutes using the rate.

STEP 3

Calculate the jogging rate by dividing the distance by the time.
Jogging rate=3000 feet5 minutes\text{Jogging rate} = \frac{3000 \text{ feet}}{5 \text{ minutes}}

STEP 4

Perform the division to find the rate.
Jogging rate=600 feet per minute\text{Jogging rate} = 600 \text{ feet per minute}

STEP 5

Use the jogging rate to find the distance jogged in 8 minutes.
Distance in 8 minutes=600 feet per minute×8 minutes\text{Distance in 8 minutes} = 600 \text{ feet per minute} \times 8 \text{ minutes}

STEP 6

Calculate the total distance.
Distance in 8 minutes=4800 feet\text{Distance in 8 minutes} = 4800 \text{ feet}
The number of feet Ms. Reznik can jog in 8 minutes is:
4800 feet\boxed{4800 \text{ feet}}
