Question

The American antelope (pronghorn) and the wildebeest are among the fastest mammals on the planet, particularly at running long distances. The maximum recorded speed for the antelope is 88.5\, \text{km/h}88.5km/h88, point, 5, start text, k, m, slash, h, end text, which it can sustain for nearly one kilometer.
On the other hand, the distance, ddd, in kilometers that the wildebeest can run in ttt hours is given by the equation d=80.5td=80.5td, equals, 80, point, 5, t.
Assuming both animals are running at constant speeds, which animal can run faster?

Answer 1

The antelope is faster than the wildebeest.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum recorded speed for the antelope is 88.5 km/h that it can sustain for almost a kilometer.

The equation for distance a wildebeest can run in t hours is given as ;

d=80t

Assume t=1 hour,d=80*1=80 km then you can say the wildebeest takes 1 hour to cover 80 km and 80 km/h

For a distance of 80 km, the antelope will take how many hours;

Time =Distance/speed =80/88.5 =0.904 hours

The antelope takes less hours to cover the distance, hence the antelope is faster than the wildebeest.
