Step 1: Calculating distance at maximum speed
If the cheetah sprinted at maximum speed, how far would the cheetah have traveled?
a) Set up an equation to represent the distance the cheetah covered in terms of t minutes running
at maximum speed. Remember, units of distance and time must agree. Use the conversion information from the warm-up to write a rate in miles per minute.
b) Let t = 10 and solve for the distance the cheetah covered in 10 minutes.
