Respuesta :
You would multiply to find the average meters/minute.
140 x 5.0 = 700.
But, if you're looking for average m/s you would divide.
140/5 = 28.
If you want meters/hour, you have to multiply the average meters/minute by 60.
140 x 5 x 60 = 4,200.
I'm not sure which one you're looking for but I hope something I wrote helps!

Answer:
Average speed(S) is given by:
[tex]S =\frac{D}{t}[/tex] ....[1]
where,
D is the total distance and t is the time.
As per the statement:
A gazelle that runs 140 meters in 5.0 seconds.
⇒D = 140 meters and t = 5 seconds
Substitute in [1] we have;
[tex]S =\frac{140}{5}[/tex]
Simplify:
⇒S = 28 m/sec
Therefore, average speed of a gazelle is, 28 m/sec
