1500 m in 125 s?

Answer 1

12 miles per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

`\boxed {\boxed {\sf 12 \ m/s}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is equal to distance divided by time.

`s=(d)/(t)`

The horse ran 1500 meters in 125 seconds.

`d= 1500 \ m \\s= 125 \ s`

Substitue the values into the formula.

`s= ( 1500 \ m )/(125 \ s)`

Divide.

`s= 12 \ m/s`

The speed of the race horse is 12 meters per second.
