Solution

To answer this question, we first need to calculate the speed of both David and Jared.

  1. Calculate David's speed: David ran 40 yards in 5 seconds. So, his speed is 40 yards/5 seconds = 8 yards/second.

  2. Calculate Jared's speed: Jared ran 30 yards in 4 seconds. So, his speed is 30 yards/4 seconds = 7.5 yards/second.

Comparing the two speeds, David is running faster than Jared (8 yards/second > 7.5 yards/second). Therefore, Jared would not be able to catch David.

So, the answer is A: No, David scored the touchdown.
