A rabbit can run at a top speed of 7 2/5 miles in 1/4 hour. What is the unit rate of the top running speed of a rabbit in miles per hour.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The rate of top running speed of rabbit is 29.6 miles per hour  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed of rabbit = 7 [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

Or, The speed of rabbit =  [tex]\frac{37}{5}[/tex]  

     The time taken by rabbit to cover this speed =  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hour

∵ In  [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hour , the speed of rabbit is [tex]\frac{37}{5}[/tex]

∴ In 1 hour , the speed of rabbit is [tex]\frac{37\times 4}{5\times 1}[/tex] mph

So, in 1 hour,  the speed of rabbit is 29.6 mph

Hence The rate of top running speed of rabbit is 29.6 miles per hour  Answer
