Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

A leatherback sea turtle can travel at a speed of 48 miles in 8 hours.

i.e

A leatherback sea turtle  travel distance in 10 hours = 6 × 10

                                                                                       = 60 miles

Therefore 60 miles can leatherback sea turtle travel in 10 hours .
