Question

A cheetah can run about 68miles per hour. how fast can it run in meters per minute? use 1mi= 1609m​

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 26,82 meters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

If 1 mile = 1609 meters, then the cheetah runs 1609 in 60 minutes, and we want to find the x meters it runs in 1 minute.

We do x = (1 * 1609) / 60 = 26,82 meters per minute ( approximately )

Answer 2

Answer:

1823.5 meters per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be solved using dimensional analysis

We're trying to find meters and minutes, so we start with the info we have, then cancel out the units we don't need.

(68 miles / 1 hr) x (1hr / 60 min) x (1609 meters / 1 mile)

The hour and the mile units get crossed off, and you're left with 109412 meters / 60 min.  Divide 109412 by 60 and you get 1823.5 meters per minute.
