Question

A rabbit can run at a top speed of 7 2/5 miles in 1/4 hour. What is the unit rate of the top running speed of a rabbit in miles per hour.

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate of top running speed of rabbit is 29.6 miles per hour  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed of rabbit = 7 $\frac{2}{5}$

Or, The speed of rabbit =  $\frac{37}{5}$  

     The time taken by rabbit to cover this speed =  $\frac{1}{4}$ hour

∵ In  $\frac{1}{4}$ hour , the speed of rabbit is $\frac{37}{5}$

∴ In 1 hour , the speed of rabbit is $\frac{37\times 4}{5\times 1}$ mph

So, in 1 hour,  the speed of rabbit is 29.6 mph

Hence The rate of top running speed of rabbit is 29.6 miles per hour  Answer
