A butterfly can fly 82 feet in 4 seconds.

Distance traveled by butterfly = 82 feet.

Time taken by butterfly =4 seconds

Speed = distance /time

Speed of butterfly = 82/4 = 20.5 feet/second

A dragonfly can fly 50 feet in 2 seconds.

Distance traveled by dragonfly =50 feet.

Time taken by dragonfly =2 seconds.

Speed of dragonfly = 50/2 = 25 feet/second

So dragonfly can fly faster than the butterfly.

Difference in speed = speed of dragonfly - speed of butterfly = 25-20.5 = 4.5

So The dragonfly is 4.5 feet per second faster than butterfly.

Answer: B) The dragonfly is 4.5 feet per second faster.
