Distance traveled by the race horse=6 furlongs
Converting the distance from furlongs to rods: 40 rods =1 furlong
![6 furlongs*\frac{40rods}{1furlong} =240rods](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=6%20furlongs%2A%5Cfrac%7B40rods%7D%7B1furlong%7D%20%3D240rods)
Converting the distance from rods to yards, feet and miles: 5.5 yards = 1 rod, 3foot =1 yard, 1 mile = 5280 feet.
![240rods*\frac{5.5yards}{1rod}*\frac{3foot}{1yard}*\frac{1mi}{5280feet}=0.75mi](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=240rods%2A%5Cfrac%7B5.5yards%7D%7B1rod%7D%2A%5Cfrac%7B3foot%7D%7B1yard%7D%2A%5Cfrac%7B1mi%7D%7B5280feet%7D%3D0.75mi)
The given speed of race horse = 40.7mi/hr
Calculating the time required:
![0.75mi*\frac{1hr}{40.7mi}*\frac{60min}{1hr}*\frac{60s}{1min}= 66.34s](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=0.75mi%2A%5Cfrac%7B1hr%7D%7B40.7mi%7D%2A%5Cfrac%7B60min%7D%7B1hr%7D%2A%5Cfrac%7B60s%7D%7B1min%7D%3D%2066.34s)
Therefore, 66.34 s is required for a race horse to run six furlongs at 40.7 miles per hour.
Therefore salt can be dissolved in water as the water acts as a solvent to the salt that is the solute so it dissolves
hope that helps
