Question

An antelope can run at a speed of 61 miles per hour. What is this speed in yards per second? Round to the nearest hundredth. HINT: 1760 yards = 1 mile A 29.82 yd/s B 1,789.33 yd/s C 89.47 yd/s D 5,368 yd/s

Answer 1

Answer:   A 29.82 yd/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An antelope can run at a speed of 61 miles per hour.

Since 1 mile =1760 yards

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Now , 61 miles per hour = $\dfrac{\text{61 miles}}{\text{1 hour}}$

$=\dfrac{61\times1760\text{ yards}}{1\times3600\text{ seconds}}$

$=29.8222222222\text{ yds/s}$

$\approx 29.82\text{ yds/s}$  [Round to the nearest hundredth]

Hence, the speed is 29.82 yd/s .

Thus , the correct answer is A 29.82 yd/s .
