A falcon flew 70 miles in 3 hours. What was the speed of the falcon? speed = distance over time; 1 mile = 1609 meters. (2 points) 10.4 meters per second 23.3 meters per second 52.2 meters per second 93.9 meters per second

First convert 70 miles into meters. So do 70 x 1609

OpenStudy (anonymous):

112630

Ok good. Now we have to convert 3 hours into seconds. So do 3 x 60 x 60 (3x60 for minutes and another 60 for seconds)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10800

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep. Now divide 112630 by 10800

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10.4287037

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. So its 10.4 meters per second

10.4
