Interesting wording. The rate itself has more meaning than the way the cheetah can run as described. A cheetah cannot run 70 miles in 1 hour; the cheetah can run at 70 miles per hour for maybe a minute, and then needs to rest. Forget that 1 hour of running business.

You really want to change into the equivalent in feet per second.

Use these:
5280 feet = 1 mile
1 hour = 3600 minutes
