A cat travels 240 meters in 30 seconds, and a sprinter travels 100 meters in 9.5 seconds. Which is traveling faster, the cat or the sprinter?

Sprinter


Cat


Sagot :

Answer:

The cat

Explanation:

1) You need to find how many meters per second each thing is sprinting, so you can divide the meters by seconds for each.

[tex]\frac{240}{30} = 8 m/s\\\frac{100}{9.5} = around 10.5 m/s[/tex]

2) Per second, the sprinter is able to achieve 8 meters, while the cat can do around 10.5 meters. 10.5 is greater than 8, making the cat faster than the sprinter.
