Suppose the cheetah sprinted at maximum speed for 8 minutes then slowed to 40mph the next 8 minutes how far would the cheetah have traveled?

The cheetah traveled 15.334 miles approximately.

SOLUTION:

Given, Suppose the cheetah sprinted at maximum speed for 8 minutes

Then, slowed to 40mph the next 8 minutes  

We have to find how far would the cheetah have traveled

Now, we know that, maximum speed of cheetah is 68 – 75 mph, as we want maximum we are taking 75 which greater than 68.

So, cheetah sprinted at 75 mph for 8 minutes and then sprinted at 40 mph for next 8 minutes.

First let us convert 8 minutes into hours,

Total distance traveled = distance traveled with 75 mph speed + distance traveled with 40 mph speed

Hence, the cheetah traveled 15.334 miles approximately.

$15.40 per mile

step-by-step explanation:

you have to round up to 4 because 6 is over 5 so you have to round the 3 up to 4
