A cheetah runs 5 miles in 60 seconds. How fast did the cheetah run in miles per hour? Convert seconds in to hours first then solve.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Speed of the cheetah is 300 miles per hour

Explanation:

As we know that the speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time

here we know that Cheetah runs a total distance of d = 5 miles

also the time taken by the cheetah is

t = 60 s

now we have

[tex]t = \frac{60}{3600} = \frac{1}{60} hrs[/tex]

so here we have

[tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v = \frac{5}{1/60}[/tex]

[tex]v = 300 mph[/tex]
