Ahungry lion is looking for food. it went 5 miles (mi) before it spotted a zebra to stalk. it took this lion 0.2 hours to get to the zebra. what is the lion’s speed? question 1 options: 1 mi 1 mi/h 25 mi 25 mi/h

To solve this exercise, the following speed equation must be applied:

 V = d / t (mi/hr)

 V: speed (mi/hr)

 d: distance (mi)

 t: time (s)

We know the distance (d= 5 miles) and the time (t= 0.2 hours), so we proceed to replace these values in the formula to calculate the lion’s speed:

 V = d / t

 V = 5 mi/0.2 hr

 V = 25 mi/hr

 The lion’s speed is 25 mi/hr, so the last option is the right answer
