Question

A giraffe can run 12 meters per second. Rounded to the nearest tenth, how fast is this in miles per hour? (1 mile= 1609 meters)

Answer 1

Answer: A giraffe can run 26.5mph

Explanation:

12 times 60 (seconds) times 60 (minutes) = 43200. This is the total number of meters traveled in an hour. You would divide this by 1609 to get the total number of miles per hour.
