Question

The top running speed of a giraffe is 250% of the top speed of a squirrel. If a squirrel’s top running speed is 12 miles per hour, find the speed of a giraffe.

Answer 1

30

Step-by-step explanation: First take the fastest speed of the squirrel, and then you multiply it by the percentage (250%). You can this by moving on decimal point to the left from the zero (250% = 2.50). Then multply the speed of the squirrel by said percentage of the girrafe,

12 x 2.5 = 30
