Speed Comparison
1. **State the problem:** We need to determine to which of the given options the Peregrine falcon (speed up to 389 kph) is inferior in terms of speed.
2. **Convert all speeds to a common unit, kph (kilometers per hour), to compare.**
3. **Option a: Koenigsegg Agera RS at 260 mph**
- Convert mph to kph using $1\text{ mi} = 1.609\text{ km}$
- Speed $= 260 \times 1.609 = 418.34$ kph
4. **Option b: Speed boat travelling 100 km in 20 minutes**
- Convert 20 minutes to hours: $\frac{20}{60} = \frac{1}{3}$ hour
- Speed $= \frac{100\text{ km}}{\frac{1}{3}\text{ hour}} = 300$ kph
5. **Option c: Sailfish speed 109,435 meter/hour**
- Convert meters/hour to km/h: $\frac{109435}{1000} = 109.435$ kph
6. **Option d: Cheetah running 75 mph**
- Convert mph to kph:
- Speed $= 75 \times 1.609 = 120.675$ kph
7. **Compareall speeds:**
- Peregrine falcon: 389 kph
- Koenigsegg Agera RS: 418.34 kph
- Speed boat: 300 kph
- Sailfish: 109.435 kph
- Cheetah: 120.675 kph
8. **Conclusion:** The Peregrine falcon is slower only than the Koenigsegg Agera RS (418.34 kph > 389 kph).
**Final answer:** a. a Koenigsegg Agera RS cruising at 260 mph along the highway
