Answer:

v₂ = 48 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

Speed = distance/time

A German Shepherd takes 4 hours to cover a distance, if it travels at a speed of 36mph.

We need to find the speed to cover the same distance in 3 hours.


(v_1)/(v_2)=(t_2)/(t_1)\\\\v_2=(v_1t_1)/(t_2)\\\\v_2=(36* 4)/(3)\\\\v_2=48\ mph

So, the new speed is 48 mph.
