Question

Use the information given to correctly complete the sentence.

A scientist observes that a zebra ran 54 yards in 135 seconds.

The zebra ran at a rate of ___ feet per minute.

Answer 1

Explanation: 54 yards is about 162 feet, and since we are converting measurements we need this ( duh ) and 135 seconds is approximately 2.25 minutes, so what we need to do is is divide the numbers like any conversion problem: 162 divided by 2.25 is 72.

Hope this answer helps!
