A hungry lion is looking for food. It went 5 miles (mi) before it spotted a zebra to stalk. It took this lion 0.2 hours to get to the zebra. What is the lion’s speed?

Given:
distance = 5 miles
time = 0.2 hours
speed = ?

Speed = distance / time

Speed = 5mi / 0.2hrs = 25mph

The speed of the lion is 25 miles per hour.
