Question

One butterfly was shown to fly an average of 11.5 mph. About how many days will it take to make the trip not counting rest.

Answer 1

Answer:  

Butterfly will need 9.0579 days of flying at speed of 11.5 miles per hour to cover distance of 2500 meters.

Solution:

Speed of butterfly = 11.5 miles per hour

Butterfly should complete a trip of distance = 2500 miles

Need to calculate number of days (without counting rest)

As time required = $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Time required by butterfly in hours $= \frac{2500}{11.5} = 217.3913 hours$

Now we need to convert number of hours in number of days

As 24 hours = 1 day

$\text { So } 1 \text { hour }= \frac{1}{24} days$

$\text { So } 217.3913 \text { hours }=\frac{1}{24} \times 217.3913=9.0579$

So butterfly will need 9.0579 days of flying at speed of 11.5 miles per hour to cover distance of 2500 meters.

Answer 2

Answer:

9.06 Days

Step-by-step explanation:

11.5 x 24 = 276

2500 / 276 = 9.06
