The speed of a dog is 150% the speed of a squirrel. the speed of a cheetah is 310% the speed of a dog. if the squirrel can run 12 miles per hour how fast is the dog and cheetah?

whatever% of anything is just (whatever/100) * anything.

so we know the dog has a speed 150% that of the squirrel, and we know the squirrel can do 12 mph, what's 150% of 12? well is just (150/100) * 12, namely 18, so the dog can run 18 mph.

we know the cheetah is 310% the speed of a dog, and we know the dog can do 18 mph, what's 310% of 18? well, is just (310/100) * 18, namely 55.8.

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
