Question

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520 feet per minute. Which animal is faster and by how many miles per hour? There are 5,280 feet in one mile.

Answer 1

The bison is by 10 mph.

If you convert the bison's speed to mph you get that it can run to speeds up to 40 mph.

I got this by seeing how many feet that they run in one hour so 3520 x 60 is 211200 which divided by 5280 is 40 mph.

Answer 2

In 1 minute, bison runs 3520 feet
In 60 minutes, the bison would run
3520*60 feet
211200 feet per hour.
These are equivalent to;
40 miles per hour since 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.
The bison is faster by 10 miles per hour
