Answer: It will take the Dolphin 2 hours to swim 40 miles. The penguin will take 8 hours. The swordfish will take 2/3 of an hour, that is 40 minutes, to travel 40 miles.
Answer: It will take the Dolphin 2 hours to swim 40 miles. The penguin will take 8 hours. The swordfish will take 2/3 of an hour, that is 40 minutes, to travel 40 miles.
Step-by-step explanation: Divide the given distance by the unit rate given:
40/20=2 hours
40/5=8 hours
40÷60= 2/3 hour
This is the reverse of the process described in the question.
If the dolphin takes 2 hours to swim 40 miles, what is its unit rate? x ÷ y = R 40 miles÷2 hours= 20 mph.
