1. camels have an amazing list of statistics. they can go for long periods of time without drinking any water. when they do drink, they can consume up to 150 liters of water at one time. they are also very fast runners and can reach speeds of 40 miles per hour. contrary to popular belief, camels do not store water in their humps.

a. how many quarts of water can the camel drink at one time? ________
b. how fast can a camel run in kilometers per hour? ________

Explanation:

Step1: Convert cheetah's speed from km/h to miles/h

We know that 1 kilometer = 0.621371 miles.
$96\times0.621371$

Step2: Calculate the result

$96\times0.621371 = 59.651616\approx59.65$ miles per hour

Step3: Convert camel's water - consumption from liters to quarts

We know that 1 liter = 1.056688 quarts.
$150\times1.056688$

Step4: Calculate the result

$150\times1.056688 = 158.5032\approx158.5$ quarts

Step5: Convert camel's speed from miles/h to km/h

We know that 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers.
$40\times1.60934$

Step6: Calculate the result

$40\times1.60934 = 64.3736\approx64.37$ kilometers per hour

Answer:

a. The cheetah can run about 59.65 miles per hour.
a. The camel can drink about 158.5 quarts of water at one - time.
b. The camel can run about 64.37 kilometers per hour.
