Question

A falcon flew 70 miles in 3 hours. What was the speed of the falcon? speed = 1 mile = 1609 meters

Answer 1

37,543.33 meters per hour, or 23.33 miles per hour.

Explanation:

70 miles per 3 hours would be the same thing as 70 * 1,609 per 3 hours. 70 * 1,609 = 112,630 meters per hours. 112,630 / 3 = 37543.333333333333.

So, the speed of the falcon is 37,543.33 meters per hour, or 70 / 3 = 23.33 miles per hour.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Find the speed per hour by dividing total distance by total time:

70 miles / 3 hours = 23 1/3 miles per hour.

1 mile = 1609 meters:

multiply miles by 1609:

23 1/3 x 1609 = 37,543 1/3 meters per hour.
