Question

Math and Science connections-The fastest lava flow measured was 60km/hr a horse outrun this flow at 48mi/hr?shown all work?

Answer 1

5 miles = 8 km to 1 d.p.
60 x 5/8 = 37.5 miles
(Lava Flow) 37.5 < 48 (Horse)
In addition, that was only the fastest speed that it was recorded. This means that there would have been slower rates of movement, further decreasing the flows total distance in an hour.
