Question

A cheetah runs 296 feet in 4 seconds. How far could a cheetah run in 10
seconds at this rate?

Answer 1

740 Feet

Explanation:

Given: 296 ft= 4 sec

To Find: 10 sec =
`\left[?}\right]` ft

First we need to Find How many feet are in 1 second.

To find that,

Do 296 divided by 4

=

74

So 1 second = 74 Feet.

Then 74 ft Times 10 second

Which gives you

740 Feet.

Therefore, at 10 second rate gives you 740 Feet.

Answer 2

740 feet

Explanation:

The speed of the cheetah is 74 feet per second:

speed = distance ÷ time

= 296 ÷ 4 = 74 feet per second

In 10 seconds:

distance = speed × time

= 74 × 10

= 740 feet
