Question

A falcon flew 70 miles in 3 hours. What was the speed of the falcon? speed = distance over time ; 1 mile = 1609 meters the answer is not 23.3

Answer 1

Answer:10.4

Explanation:

There are a lot of information's that are already given in the question. Based on these information's the answer can be deduced.

1 mile = 1609 meters

Then

70 miles = 1609 * 70 meters

= 112630 meters

again

1 hour = 3600 seconds

3 hours = 3600 * 3 seconds

= 10800 seconds

So

Speed = 112630/10800 meters/second

= 10.4 meters per second.

So the falcon was flying at a speed of 10.4 meters per second.
