The Ostrich will take 64 minutes to cover 40 miles.

Data;

To calculate the time it will take the ostrich to cover 40 miles, we have to compare it with the rate (speed).

$25mi = 40 min\\40 mi = x min$

Cross multiply both sides

$x * 25 =40 * 40$

simplify the value

$x*25=40*40\\25x = 1600\\$

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

$25x = 1600\\25x/25 = 1600/25\\x = 64$

From the calculations above, it would take the ostrich 64 minutes to cover 40 miles.
