A healthy, adult cheetah can run 110 feet per second. How fast can a cheetah run in miles per hour?

Hello!

If this adult cheetah can run 110 feet in a second, in can run 6600 feet in a minute. If we multiply this by 60 again, we see that it would run 396000 feet in an hour. If we divide that by 5,280, we will get our miles.

396000/5,280=75

Therefore, our cheetah can run 75 mph.

I hope this helps!
