Answer:

So its 70.05 miles per hour Hope this helped :)

Explanation:

Cheetah ran 300 feet in 2.92 seconds.

Average speed in miles per hour.

Converting 300 feet to mile.

5280 feet = 1 mile

1 feet = (1/5280) mile

300 feet = (1/5280) * 300 = (300/5280) = (30/528) = (10/176) mile.

2.92 seconds to hour.

3600 seconds = 1 hour

1 second = (1/3600) hour

2.92 seconds = 2.92 * (1/3600) = (2.92/3600) hour.

Speed of Cheetah in miles per hour = (10/176) mile / (2.92/3600) hour

= 70.05 miles/hour
