Question

a coyote can run a hundred one in 5.3 seconds a jack-rabbit can run 75 m in 4.7 seconds compared their unit speeds to determine which animal is faster round to the nearest whole unit Blank#1 Coyote speedBlank#2 Jack Rabbit speedBlank#3 Which one is faster

Answer 1

Coyote's speed = 19 m/s

Jack Rabbit's speed = 16 m/s

The Coyote is faster since 19 > 16.

Step-by-step explanation

To answer this, we need to note that the relationship between speed, distance and time is given as

Speed = (Distance/Time)

For the Coyote,

Distance = 101 m

Time = 5.3 seconds

Speed = (Distance/Time)

Coyote's speed = (101/5.3) = 19 m/s

For the Jack Rabbit,

Distance = 75 m

Time = 4.7 seconds

Speed = (Distance/Time)

Jack Rabbit's speed = (75/4.7) = 16 m/s

Since 19 m/s is evidently greater than 16 m/s, we can conclude that the Coyote is faster than the Jack Rabbit.

Hope this Helps!!!
