What is the speed of a horse in meters per second that runs a distance of 1.2 miles in 2.4 minutes? (Hint: 1 mile = 1609 m)

please show how you got the answer

Respuesta :

time t=2.4 minutes=2.4×60=144 seconds
distance s=1.2 miles=1.2×1609=1930.8 meters
speed v=s/t=1930.8÷144=[tex] \frac{1930.8}{144} = \frac{160.9}{12} =[/13.408m/s ~nearly]
