The top running speed of a giraffe can be found by multiplying the top speed of a squirrel by 250%.
Given that a squirrel's top running speed is 12 miles per hour, we can calculate the speed of a giraffe as follows:
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing it by 100.
250% ÷ 100 = 2.5
Step 2: Multiply the squirrel's top speed by the decimal obtained in Step 1.
12 miles per hour × 2.5 = 30 miles per hour
Therefore, the top running speed of a giraffe is
30 miles per hour.
