Question

Chang is writing a report on the speeds of some animals found in the wild. His table shows the recorded time and distance traveled for four animals.

Chang needs to find the speed of each animal in miles per hour to determine the fastest of the four animals. Which animal in Chang’s table is the fastest?

Answer 1

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that the fastest animal in Chang's table is the Elk.

What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?

Velocity is distance divided by time, that is:

v = d/t.

Hence the velocities of each animal are:

• Elk: v = 37.5/(5/6) = 45 miles per hour.

• Gray Gox: v = 15.75/(3/8) = 42 miles per hour.

• Grizzly Bear: v = 20/(2/3) = 30 miles per hour.

• White-Tailed Deer: v = 22.5/(3/4) = 30 miles per hour.

Due to the highest velocity, the fastest animal in Chang's table is the Elk.
