Question

The top speed of a garden snail is 3.0  10–2 miles per hour. The
top speed of a cheetah is 7.0  101

. How many times greater is the

speed of the cheetah than the garden snail?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

2333 times

● Explanation -

# Given -

Top speed of garden snail = 3×10^-2 = 0.03 miles/hour

Top speed of cheetah = 7×10^1 = 70 miles/hour

# Solution -

Ratio of speeds of cheetah to garden snail is -

Speed of cheetah / speed of garden snail = 70 / 0.03

Speed of cheetah / speed of garden snail = 2333

Therefore, speed of the cheetah is 2333 times greater than the garden snail.

Best luck dear...
