The total distance Ray runs is 30 feet.

Explicação

## Step 1The problem involves Ray running in three different directions: north, west, and south. The distance he runs in each direction is 30 feet.## Step 2When Ray runs north and then south, he essentially returns to his original position. This means that the total distance he runs in the north-south direction is 0 feet.## Step 3The only remaining direction is west, where Ray runs 30 feet. Therefore, the total distance Ray runs is 30 feet.
