Answer:

3 3/5 feet per seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If a frog jumps 9 3/5 feet in the span of 2 2/3 second, we want to calculate the number of feet it can jump in one seconds.

Since it jumps 9 3/5 feet in the span of 2 2/3 second, we can express this as:

9 3/5 feet  = 2 seconds ... 1

The number of feet per seconds will be expressed as:

x = 1secs.... 2

Divide equation 1 by 2 as shown:

9 3/5 ÷ x = 2 2/3 ÷ 1

48/5x = 8/3

Cross multiply

5x * 8 = 48 * 3

40x = 144

10x = 36

5x = 18

x = 18/5

Express as a mixed fraction:

18/5 = 3 3/5ft/secs

Hence the frog is moving at 3 3/5 feet per seconds
