Answer: An ostrich can walk with a speed of 2 miles per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of roadrunner bird=14 miles per hour
Let x be the speed of ostrich egg.
Given that : A the greater roadrunner bird can run 7 times faster than an ostrich can walk.
⇒ Speed of roadrunner bird=7x
⇒7x= 14 miles per hour.
[tex]\\\Rightarrow\ x=\frac{14\text{ miles per hour}}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=2\text{ miles per hour}[/tex]
Therefore, speed of ostrich egg=2 miles per hour.
From the given question and parameters, the walking speed of the ostrich is gotten as; 2 miles per hour
We are told that the greater roadrunner bird has a speed of 14 miles per hour.
Thus;
Speed of greater roadrunner bird = 14 mph
Now we are told that the speed of the greater roadrunner bird is 7 times faster than the speed of how an ostrich can walk.
If the speed of the ostrich is x, then we can write using proportion that;
7x = 14
using division property of equality, divide both sides by 7;
7x/7 = 14/7
x = 2 mph
In conclusion, the walking speed of the ostrich is 2 mph
