Answer:

The Fox, by 7 Miles per hour

Explanation:

The rabbit runs 35 Miles per hour

The Fox runs 21 in half an hour

1 hour - 30 minutes = 30 minutes meaning we have to double the foxes miles

21 x 2 = 42

42>32

To find out by how much do 42-32 and we get 7 Miles per hour.

Answer:

The fox can run faster by a factor of 7 miles per hour
