Question

A horse can run 44 per second for several minutes. A cheetah can run faster (88 feet per second) but can only sustain its top speed for about 20 seconds before it is worn out. How far away from the cheetah does the horse need to stay for it to be safe?

Answer 1

Answer:

44 feet

If it takes the horse 44 feet per second, and it takes the cheetah 88 feet, the difference is 44.

So, the horse must be 44 feet ahead to be safe. Hope it helps!
