Answer:

The rate of top running speed of rabbit is 29.6 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given as :

The speed of rabbit = 7
(2)/(5)

Or, The speed of rabbit =
(37)/(5)

The time taken by rabbit to cover this speed =
(1)/(4) hour

∵ In
(1)/(4) hour , the speed of rabbit is
(37)/(5)

∴ In 1 hour , the speed of rabbit is
(37* 4)/(5* 1) mph

So, in 1 hour, the speed of rabbit is 29.6 mph

Hence The rate of top running speed of rabbit is 29.6 miles per hour Answer
