Question

A cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds. What was the cheetah’s average speed in miles per hour?

Answer 1

We will first convert feet to miles:
1 foot = 0.00018939 miles
300 foot = 0.056817 miles
Than seconds to hours:
2.92 seconds = 0.04867 minutes = 0.0008111 hours
Average speed :
v = d / t
v = 0.056817 miles / 0.008111 h
v = 70.05 miles per hour
