Answer: the deer can run 36 miles per hour

Explanation:

The way to solve this is by working out the amount of 25 seconds in an hour, and then multiply it by that
(1)/(4) of an hour. 1 hour has 60 minutes, and each minute has 60 seconds, which will leave you with 1 x 60 x 60 = 3600.3600 is the number of seconds in an hour.3600÷25 = 144. so there are 144 25 seconds in an hour. If the deer runs
(1)/(4) mile in 25 seconds, then we just have to do 144 x
(1)/(4) and it will give us the answer.144 x
(1)/(4) = 36. The answer is the deer can run 36 miles per hour. simplified equation (60 x 60)/25) x 1/4 = 36
