A cheetah ran 196 meters in 8 seconds. Choose each statement that is true. A. 00:00 The cheetah can run 125 meters in 6 seconds.
B. 00:00 After 10 seconds, the cheetah will have run 245 meters. C. 00:00 The cheetah ran 24.5 meters per second. D. 00:00 The cheetah will run 1,470 meters in 1 minute. E. 00:00 It took the cheetah 5 seconds to run 125 meters.
If a cheetah ran 196m is 8 seconds, then 196/8 = 24.5 meters per second.
Let’s verify all answers:
A) 24.5 x 6 = 147. 147m are ran in 6 seconds, not 125. B) 24.5 x 10 = 245. This answer is correct! C) We’ve establishes that a Cheetah ran 24.5 meters per second. Correct! D) Since one minute equals 60 seconds, 24.5 x 60 = 1470. Correct! E) 24.5 x 5 = 122.5. In this time frame, a cheetah wouldn’t run 125m.
