Answers B, C, D are all correct!

If a cheetah ran 196m is 8 seconds, then 196/8 = 24.5 meters per second.

Let's verify all answers:

A) 24.5 x 6 = 147. 147m are ran in 6 seconds, not 125.

B) 24.5 x 10 = 245. This answer is correct!

C) We've establishes that a Cheetah ran 24.5 meters per second. Correct!

D) Since one minute equals 60 seconds, 24.5 x 60 = 1470. Correct!

E) 24.5 x 5 = 122.5. In this time frame, a cheetah wouldn't run 125m.
