It is given that the top speed of a coyote is 44 miles/hour. We have to find the distance cover by the coyote in 15 minutes time.
Let us recall the formula.
Distance=Speed×Time
In our case Time=15 minute minute and Speed=44 miles/hour. Let us convert the time into an hour format. We know that
60minute=1hour
This gives us

1minute=1/60hour15minute=(1/60)×15hour=1/4hour

Hence the distance cover by the coyote in 15 minutes time is given by

Distance=441/4miles=11miles
