60 min i mean sory

Answer 6

Then you can apply the formula S = distance/time to find for speed, then convert it. Got?

Answer 7

let me try it

Answer 8

Answer 9

so the distance is 300/5280 =0.5681818182

Answer 10

and what is suppose to be the time 60*60 =0.0243333

Answer 11

i am not sure with the time

Answer 18

@Yttrium could you explain a little more clear Please

Answer 19

A cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds. What is the cheetah's average speed in miles per hour
--------------------------------------
(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
