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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

convert feet to miles, there are 5280 feet in a mile, and convert seconds to minutes and then hours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill give you a hint. The cheetah ran 5/88 miles in 2.92 seconds.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(300 ft/2.92 sec)(1 mi/ 5280 ft)(3600 sec/1 hour) = {300*1*3600 miles)/(2.92*5280*1 hour) = 91080000 miles/15417.6 hours = 70.05 mph

but have would u type it in another way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That looks correct to me. You just have to do unit conversions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can give you a simple conversion: 88fps is the same as 60mph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(300 feet/ 2.92 sec)*(1 mile/5280 feet)*(60 sec/1 minute)*(60 minutes/1 hour)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would u explain the answer in the another way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just posted it above
