Answer:
<u>It will take an arctic tern 33.33 days or 33 days and 4 hours (rounded to the next hour) to cover a one-way flight of 10,000 miles</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Length of a round trip flight of an arctic tern = 20,000 miles ⇒ one-way flight = 10,000 miles
Miles per hour = 25
Hours of flight per day = 12
2. If the birds flies an average of 25 miles per hour and an average of 12 hours per day, how many days would it take for a one-way flight?
Let's calculate the number of miles per day, this way:
Miles per day = Miles per hour * Hours of flight per day
Miles per day = 25 * 12
Miles per day = 300
Now we calculate the number of days to cover 10,000 miles, a one-way flight from the Arctic to the Antarctic, as follows:
Number of days to cover 10,000 miles = 10,000/Miles per day
Number of days to cover 10,000 miles = 10,000/300
Number of days to cover 10,000 miles = 33.33
<u>It will take an arctic tern 33.33 days or 33 days and 4 hours (rounded to the next hour) to cover a one-way flight of 10,000 miles</u>
