Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is all the animals from the list run faster than the squirrel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Squirrel speed = 12 mi/h

Divide by the hours to compare to the squirrel's speed

a) Lion's speed = 100 mi/2 h       = 50 mi/h

b) Grizzly bear = 60 mi/2 h         = 30 mi/h

c) Zebra's speed = 80 mi/ 2 h     = 40 mi/h

d) Elk's speed = 90 mi/2 h           = 45 mi/h

Conclusion

All the animals listed have a higher speed than the squirrel's speed.
