3. The Komodo Dragon prefers to hunt by stealth, but can briefly run 6.5 miles for half an hour. What is the average speed in miles per hour?

To calculate the average speed, you divide the distance by the time. So, if the Komodo Dragon can run 6.5 miles in 30 minutes, you first convert 30 minutes to hours, which is 0.5 hours. Now, you take the distance (6.5 miles) and divide it by the time (0.5 hours). That gives you an average speed of 13 miles per hour! Talk about a speedy reptile! If you ever find yourself in a race with a Komodo Dragon, remember they might not win a marathon due to their preferred hunting style, but their bursts of speed are impressive! These creatures know when to be stealthy and when to unleash their inner sprinter. Always respect the wild!
