Question

a dog can run as fast as 15 miles per hour for a short distance. if a dog ran at this speed for 6 minutes, or 0.10 of an hour, how far would it run?

Answer 1

Answer: 1.5 miles

Explanation:

Speed of dog, v = 15 mph

Time taken by the dog, t = 0.1 h

We need to find the distance travelled by the dog. We know that, distance is the product of speed and time. So,

d=vt

d=15 x 0.1

d=1.5 miles

Hence, the dog will cover a distance of 1.5 miles.
