A) 109 feet per second
B) 109 feet per minute
C) 218 feet per second
D) 218 feet per minute

Answer 1

The rate at which the cheetah ran is 109 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cheetah ran 436 feet in 4 seconds. To find the rate at which the cheetah ran, we divide the distance by the time.

Rate = Distance / Time

Rate = 436 feet / 4 seconds = 109 feet per second

Therefore, the rate at which the cheetah ran is equivalent to option A) 109 feet per second.
