A cheetah ran 75 meters at a speed of 25 meters per second. How long was the cheetah running?

Question

3 seconds
5 seconds
30 seconds
50 seconds

Answer 1

To find out how long the cheetah was running, we can use the formula:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} \]

In this case, the distance is 75 meters, and the speed is 25 meters per second.

Calculating the time:

\[ \text{Time} = \frac{75 \text{ meters}}{25 \text{ meters/second}} = 3 \text{ seconds} \]

Therefore, the cheetah was running for 3 seconds.
