Answer:
The distance can the hippo run in 30 minutes is 12.45 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A hippopotamus can run at the speed of about 24.9 miles per hour.
To find : How far can the hippo run in 30 minutes?
Solution :
A hippopotamus can run at the speed of about 24.9 miles per hour.
The speed = 24.9 miles/hr
The time taken is 30 minutes,
Converting into hour,
[tex]1\ min=\frac{1}{60}\ hr[/tex]
[tex]30\ min=\frac{30}{60}\ hr[/tex]
[tex]30\ min=\frac{1}{2}\ hr[/tex]
Applying distance formula,
[tex]\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance}=24.9\times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance}=12.45[/tex]
The distance can the hippo run in 30 minutes is 12.45 miles.
