Answer 1

Tiger shark:
2240 miles in 28 days = 80 miles/day

GW shark:
2368 miles in 32 days = 74 miles/day

80 miles/day x 32 days = 2560 miles the Tiger shark would have traveled

2560-2368 = 192

If the tiger shark had traveled at the same rate for 32 days, the tiger shark would have traveled 192 miles more than the great white shark
