Question

A hyena can run 4 of a mile in 22.5 seconds. At this rate, which equation can be used to

Answer 1

Answer:

40 mph <3

Step-by-step explanation:

Trust me, it isn't that bad. Miles per hour is what we would call a rate. In this case, this rate is made up of distance over time. They have given us this distance (1/4 of a mile) and time (22.5 seconds).

First off, lets convert our fraction to a decimal.

1/4 = 0.25

DistanceTime=mph

We must notice that out units for time are different than the rate. Therefore we must convert seconds to hours.

There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour.

60 x 60 = 3,600

22.5s×1hour3600s=0.00625hour

Now that we have the correct units, we can do our distance over time formula.

0.25mile0.00625hour=40mph

Sorry, I hope this is correct!!
