We will see that the bison is faster, by 9.9 miles per hour.

<h3>Which animal is faster?</h3>

We know that the deer's speed is:

D = 30 mi/h

The bison's speed is:

B = 3,520 ft/min.

We want to convert the second speed to miles per hour, then we can use:

1 hour = 60 min

1 mile = 5289 ft

So, to get the speed in miles per hour, we need to multiply by 60 and divide by 5289, we will get:

B = 3,520 ft/min = 3,520*(60/5289) mi/h = 39.9 mi/h

So we can see that the bison is faster, by 9.9 miles per hour.
