Select all of the statements that are true if the cheetah runs at a constant rate.



The cheetah can run 125 meters in 6 seconds.




After 10 seconds, the cheetah will have run 245 meters.




The cheetah ran 24.5 meters per second.




The cheetah will run 1,470 meters in 1 minute.




It took the cheetah 5 seconds to run 125 meters.

Answer 1

True:
- After 10 seconds, the cheetah will have run 245 meters. (196/8 = 24.5 m/s, 24.5×10 = 245)
- The cheetah ran 24.5 meters per second. (196 ÷ 8 = 24.5)
- The cheetah will run 1,470 meters in 1 minute. (24.5×60 = 1470)

False:
- The cheetah can run 125 meters in 6 seconds. (24.5×6 = 147, not 125)
- It took the cheetah 5 seconds to run 125 meters. (125 ÷ 24.5 ≈ 5.102 s, not 5 s)
