Question

A falcon flew 70 miles in 3 hours. What was the speed of the falcon?

Answer 1

Answer:

23.3333333 miles per hour

23 1/3 miles per hour

10.43093333333333 meters / second

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the distance and divide by the time to find the speed

70 miles / 3 hours

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

1 hours = 3600 seconds

70 miles   /3 hours *  1 mile /1609.34 meters * 1 hours / 3600 seconds

10.43093333333333 meters / second

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

speed is normally measured in unit time meaning either per hour,second,minute etc

therefore for this question you will have to find what it travels per hour

if 70 is in three hours what about one hour

therefore

70/3=23.3'

so the speed will be 23.3miles per hour
