Answer:
\(\bf \large \boxed {1.75 \ mph}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the lion's time from minutes to hours (15 minutes = 1/4 hour), then divide the distance by the time to find the lion's speed
\(\bf Speed = \frac{4\ Miles}{\frac{1}{4}\ hours}\)
The cheetah runs 1.5 miles per hour faster than the lion. To find the cheetah's speed, we add 1.5 miles per hour to the lion's speed
\(\bf Cheetahs \ Speed=Lions \ Speed+1.5 \ mph\)
\(\bf Cheetahs\ Speed=16 mph+1.5 mph=17.5 mph\)
