American Bison

Step-by-step explanation:

First find out how many feet the bison runs in an hour.

To find that out you have to multiply 3520 by 60 minutes because there are 60 minutes in an hour.

So 3520*60 = 211,200 feet

Then you have to convert 211,200 feet into miles and since there are 5,280 feet in an a mile you have to divide.

So 211,200 divided by 5,280 = 40

So the American Bison runs 40 miles per hour which is faster than the White Tailed Deer who only runs 30 miles per hour.

So the answer is the American Bison.
