Problema Solution
A falcon flew 70 miles in 3 hours. What was the speed of the falcon?
speed = distance over time; 1 mile = 1609 meters.
Answer provided by our tutors
d = 70 mi
d = 70*1609 m
t = 3 hr
v = the distance
v = d/t
v = (70*1609)/3
v = 37,543.33 m/h
The speed of the falcon is 37,543.33 m/h.
