The cheetah traveled 15.334 miles approximately.
SOLUTION:
Given, Suppose the cheetah sprinted at maximum speed for 8 minutes
Then, slowed to 40mph the next 8 minutes
We have to find how far would the cheetah have traveled
Now, we know that, maximum speed of cheetah is 68 – 75 mph, as we want maximum we are taking 75 which greater than 68.
So, cheetah sprinted at 75 mph for 8 minutes and then sprinted at 40 mph for next 8 minutes.
First let us convert 8 minutes into hours,
Total distance traveled = distance traveled with 75 mph speed + distance traveled with 40 mph speed
Hence, the cheetah traveled 15.334 miles approximately
