​

Answer 1

Answer:

Speed is 8.57 metre per second

Speed = Distance/ Time

Speed = 1200/ 140

Speed = 8.57 m/s

Answer 2

Explanation:

Here horse can run up to distance,

d = 1200 m

time taken by horse to run 1200 m,

t = 2 min 20 sec

= 2*60 + 20 sec

= 120 + 20sec

= 140 sec

Therefore , speed of horse ,

s = d / t

s = 1200 / 140

s = 8.57 m/ s. ( approx )
