Question

A hyena can run one over four of a mile in 22.5 seconds. At this rate, which equation can be used to determine how fast a hyena runs in miles per hour? (5 points)

one-fourth mile over twenty-two point five seconds = 40 miles per hour
twenty-two point five seconds over one-fourth mile = 40 miles per hour
one-fourth mile over twenty-two point five seconds = 90 miles per hour
twenty-two point five seconds over one-fourth mile = 90 miles per hour

I basically just need to know which equation it is. I know its 40 miles per hour.

Answer 1

1/4 mile over 22.5 seconds.

Explanation:

Because you are calculating miles over hours, not hours over miles, miles will be on top and hours will be on bottom. Hope this helps!
