Question

The fastest animal in the world is the peregrine falcon. It is capable of diving after its prey at an amazing 83.00 meters per second. Use the tiles below to determine how fast this is in miles per hour.

Answer 1

1 metre per second = 2.237 miles per hour

so 83 m/sec = 185.666 miles per hour !! ...answer !!

Answer 2

The speed of the Peregrine falcon is 185.66 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed of the fastest animal, Peregrine falcon, is 83 m/s. We need to find its speed in miles per hour. To convert it from one unit to another, we must see the conversion as :

1 mile = 1609.34 meters

1 hour = 3600 seconds

`83(m)/(s)=(83* (1/1609.34\ miles))/((1/3600)\ hour)`

`85\ m/s=185.66\ miles/hour`

So, the speed of the Peregrine falcon is 185.66 miles per hour. Hence, this is the required solution.
