Question

A rabbit can run at a top speed of 7 2/5 miles in 1/4 hour. What is the unit rate of the top running speed of a rabbit in miles per hour.

Answer 1

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
