Answer:

[tex]Time = 250[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Length = 500yd[/tex]

[tex]Rate = 0.5sec/yd[/tex]

Required

Determine the time taken to reach the house

The given rate is a ratio of time to length.

i.e.

[tex]Rate = \frac{Time}{Length}[/tex]

Make Time the subject

[tex]Time = Rate * Length[/tex]

Substitute values for Rate and Length

[tex]Time = 0.5 * 500[/tex]

[tex]Time = 250[/tex]

Hence, the time taken is 250 seconds
