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.

In 1 minute, bison runs 3520 feet
In 60 minutes, the bison would run
3520*60 feet
211200 feet per hour.
These are equivalent to;
40 miles per hour since 1 mile is equivalent to 5280 feet.
The bison is faster by 10 miles per hour

The American Bison is faster than the white-tailed deer and it can run faster by 10 miles per hour.

How do we determine the speed of an object?

The speed of an object can be described as the distance of an object traveling in a specified direction.

Mathematically;

[tex]\mathbf{Speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}}[/tex]

Given that:

The speed of the white-tailed deer = 30 miles per hour

The distance of the American Bison is = 3520 feet

We need to convert the distance into miles, by doing so, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{=\dfrac{ 3520}{5280} \ miles}[/tex]

= 0.6667 miles

The time used is 1/60 hour

= 0.01667 hour

Speed [tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{3520}{5280} mile \div \dfrac{1}{60} hour}[/tex]

Speed [tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{3520}{5280} mile \times \dfrac{60}{1} hour}[/tex]

Speed [tex]\mathbf{ =\dfrac{211200}{5280} \ miles/hour}[/tex]

Speed = 40 miles per hour.

Therefore, we can conclude that the American Bison is faster than the white-tailed deer and it can run faster by 10 miles per hour.
