An ostrich can run at speeds of up to 43 km/h. How long will it take (in seconds) an ostrich to run 0.7 km at this top
speed?

Answer 1

58.6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of ostrich = 43 km/hour

So in one hour, ostrich travels 43 km

This means that to travel 1 km, the ostrich will take 1/43 of an hour

to travel 0.7 km, the ostrich will take 0.7/43 of an hour

Since each hour is 3600 seconds, that would mean that the ostrich will take 0.7/43 x 3600 = 58.6 seconds
