The anwser would be B -11 miles you just have to divide by 4

Answer 2

Option B is correct

11 miles

Explanation:

Using formula:

`\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} * \text{Time}`

As per the statement:

At top speed, a coyote can run at a speed of 44 miles per hour.

⇒Speed = 44 miles per hour

It is also given that:

Time = 15 minutes

Use conversion:

1 minute =
`(1)/(60)` hours

then;

15 minutes =
`(15)/(60) =(1)/(4)` hours

Substitute the given values in the formula we have;

`\text{Distance} = 44 * (1)/(4) = 11` miles

Therefore, 11 miles could it run in 15 minutes
