Question

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 39 miles per hour american bison can run at speeds up to 3520 feet per minute which animal is faster and by how many miles per hour? There are 5280 feet in one mile

Answer 1

If a bison can run 3520 feet per minute and you need to know how fast it can run in an hour, you would multiply 3520 by 60, because there are 60 minutes in an hour. This would equal 211,200. So a bison can run 211,200 feet in one hour.

To figure out how many miles it can run in one hour to compare it to the 39 miles of a deer you would divide 211,200 by 5280. Because there are 5280 feet in a mile. This will give you 40.

In summary, a white-tailed deer can run 39 miles per hour, but a bison can run 40 miles per hour, one mile more. So the bison can run faster.
