You need to figure out first how far each animal would travel in one minute. To do this, divide each speed by 60 (because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour). Then, you get that the cheetah travels 1.17 miles in one minute. The greyhound would travel 0.65 miles in 1 minute. Then, subtract to get 0.52 miles. To get the answer in feet, simply multiply by 5280 (because there are 5280 feet in 1 mile) to get 2,745.6 feet. \n" ); document.write( "
