Question

the table below shows how far several animals can travel at their maximum speeds in a given time. write each animal’s speed as a unit rate in feet per second. which animal has the faster speed?

Answer 1

Elk has fastest speed.

Explanation:

We know that Speed =
`(Distance)/(Time)`

Elk's speed =
`(33)/(1/2)`

= 66 feet/second

Giraffe's speed =
`(115×2)/(5)`

= 46 feet/second

Zebra's speed =
`(117)/(2)`

= 58.5 feet/second

Elk has fastest speed that is 66 feet/second.
