Question

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520 feet per minute. Which animal is faster and by how many miles per hour? There are 5,280 feet in one mile. A deer is 10 miles per hour faster than a bison.

Answer 1

3520/5280 = 2/3 of a mile per minute.

2/3 x 60 minutes per hour = 40 miles per hour.

40-30 = 10

Bison runs 40 miles per hour

The bison runs 10 miles an hour faster than the deer

Answer 2

Answer:

American bison is faster than the white-tailed deer by 10 more miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 hour there are 60 minutes.

=> 3520 feet = 1 minute

=> 60 minutes = 3520 x 60

=> 211200 feet = 60 minutes

So, 211200 feet can be converted in miles.

=> 1 mile = 5280 feet

=> 211200 feet = x miles

=> x = 211200 / 5280

=> x = 40 miles per hour.

So, a white-tailed deer can run up to 30 miles per hour.

     an American bison can run up to 40 miles per hour.

American bison runs 10 more miles per hour than a white-tailed deer.
