An elephant can run 1/4 of a mile in 36 seconds how fast can that elephant run in mph

60 minutes in 1 hr, 60 seconds in 1 minute ... (60 * 60) = 3600 seconds in 1 hr

(1/4) / 36 = x / 3600 ... 1/4 mile to 36 seconds = x miles to 3600 seconds

cross multiply

(36) (x) = (1/4) (3600)

36x = 900

x = 900/36

x = 25 mph <==
