A.
23.5 m/s
B.
3.9 m/s
C.
7.5 m/s
D.
235 m/s

Answer 1

What was the distance it covered if you tell me that I will be able to answer?

Answer 2

B.

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the distance covered by the wolf is 10,000 meters. Recall that

Distance = speed × time

Also 60 seconds makes 1 minute hence

42 minutes = 42 × 60 seconds = 2520 seconds

Total time = 2520 seconds + 25 seconds = 2545 seconds

The wolf's average speed = 10,000 meters/2545 seconds

= 3.939 m/s
