Question

An antelope can run at a speed of 61 miles per hour. What is this speed in yards per second? Round to the nearest hundredth. HINT: 1760 yards = 1 mile A 29.82 yd/s B 1,789.33 yd/s C 89.47 yd/s D 5,368 yd/s

Answer 1

Answer: A 29.82 yd/s

Explanation:

Given : An antelope can run at a speed of 61 miles per hour.

Since 1 mile =1760 yards

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Now , 61 miles per hour =
`\frac{\text{61 miles}}{\text{1 hour}}`

`=\frac{61*1760\text{ yards}}{1*3600\text{ seconds}}`

`=29.8222222222\text{ yds/s}`

`\approx 29.82\text{ yds/s}` [Round to the nearest hundredth]

Hence, the speed is 29.82 yd/s .

Thus , the correct answer is A 29.82 yd/s .
