Question

A rabbit can run short distances at a rate of 35 miles per hour. A fox can run short distances at a rate of 21 miles per half an hour. Which animal is faster, and how much

Answer 1

Fox is faster by 7 MPH

Explanation:

1. determine how fast each animal runs per hour

rabbit = 35 MPH

fox = 21 per half hour (multiply by 2 for hour) 21*2=42 MPH

2. Subtract rabbits speed (35) from foxs speed (42)

42-35= 7 mph
