To find out how many miles a penguin can swim in 4 hours, we can use the formula: distance = rate × time (d = rt).

Given that the rate of the Gentoo penguin is 17 miles per hour, we substitute the values into the formula: distance = 17 miles/hour × 4 hours.

Multiplying the rate (17 miles/hour) by the time (4 hours) gives us the answer: distance = 68 miles.

Therefore, a Gentoo penguin can swim 68 miles in 4 hours.

distance = rate * time = r t

= 17 * 4
