Lets try and create a simple ratio in order to find out the unknown value of time that a cockroach needs to travel 46 feet. Lets try and call x the time the cockroach needs.
If to travel 1 foot he needs 2 seconds,
Then to travel 46 feet he needs x seconds.
Lets cross multiply in order to find out the value of x. 1 times x equal to 46 times 2.
x=46*2
x=92 seconds.
