Question

A speed skater completes a 500 meter race in 40 seconds. A cheetah runs 260 meters in 10 seconds.How do their speeds compare

Answer 1

25:26

Explanation:

You mean the ratio?

Let's simplify the speed skater first. 500 meter in 40 second to x meter in 1 second. 500/40=12.5 meters per seconds

Cheetah:260/10=26 meters per seconds

Let's make this into a integer

12.5*2=25

25:26

:)

Answer 2

12.5 for the skater and 26 for the cheetah
