Question

A white tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520 feet per minute. Which animal is faster and by how many miles per hour ? There are 5,289 feet in one mile

Answer 1

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

Which animal is faster?

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.
