To solve the problem, we need to calculate the distance the cheetah ran using the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
In this case, the speed is 70 mph, and the time is 0.05 hours.
Calculating the distance:
Distance = 70 mph × 0.05 hours = 3.5 miles
Now, let's evaluate the options provided about what is wrong with Logan's work.
-
Logan used the wrong formula. He should have used A = bh. - This response is incorrect because the formula A = bh (which calculates area) is not relevant to this problem about distance.
-
Logan did not multiply the numbers. - This response may or may not be correct depending on whether Logan actually performed the multiplication. If he correctly multiplied, then this statement would be false.
-
Logan’s work is correct. - This could be true if Logan correctly applied the distance formula and calculated the distance accurately.
-
Logan labeled his answer incorrectly. The correct label is feet. - This response is incorrect. Since the cheetah ran a distance of 3.5 miles, it would not be appropriate to label it as feet without a conversion.
Based on the most logical option, if he calculated the distance correctly, none of these criticisms would apply. Therefore, if Logan's calculations were correct, the answer would be:
Logan’s work is correct.
If he made a mistake in the multiplication or labeling, then one of the other responses would apply. Without more context on what Logan specifically did, we can't definitively say which criticism is valid, but at least one of the responses is likely irrelevant.
