Question

A cheetah ran 275 feet in 3.23 seconds. How fast did the cheetah run in miles per hour? Round your answer to the nearest whole mile per hour.

Answer 1

First we convert feet into meters, since 1 feet is 0.3048 m: 275 feet * 0.3048 = 83.82m.

Then we do: 83.82m / 3.23s =  25.9504644 m/s.

Then we convert that into miles per hour by 2.23694, so we do:

25.9504644 * 2.23694 = 58.0496318.

Then we round it to 58 mph.

So the answer is: The cheetah was running at 58 mph.

Hope this helped! c:
