Sagot :

The anwser would be B -11 miles you just have to divide by 4

Answer:

Option B is correct

11 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Using formula:

[tex]\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}[/tex]

As per the statement:

At top speed, a coyote can run at a speed of 44 miles per hour.

⇒Speed = 44 miles per hour

It is also given that:

Time =  15 minutes

Use conversion:

1 minute = [tex]\frac{1}{60}[/tex] hours

then;

15 minutes =  [tex]\frac{15}{60} =\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hours

Substitute the given values in the formula we have;

[tex]\text{Distance} = 44 \times \frac{1}{4} = 11[/tex] miles

Therefore, 11 miles  could it run in 15 minutes
