Answer:

The distance between the two jungles is 60 km

Explanation:

cheetah is going 80km/hr or (80km/60min)

using this 45min is 3/4 of 60 min

and 3/4 of 80km is 60km

So basically


(80km)/(1hr) = (80km)/(60min) * (0.75)/(0.75) = (60km)/(45min)

so you need to find 3/4 of 80 (60 Km/h)

and since 45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour

your answer is (60 Km/h)
