How long will it take a bird traveling at an average speed of 12 miles per hour to travel 202 miles while flying south for winter?
? hours and ? minutes

202 รท 12 = 16 5/6 hours = 16 hours and 50 minutes
Thank you
Well, I'm not an expert on bird migration, but I can certainly try to help with a little humor!
If the bird is flying south for winter, I don't think it would be in a rush. It might want to take its time, do a little sightseeing, grab some bird snacks along the way. Who knows, maybe it'll even join a flock for a quick game of "Duck, Duck, Goose"!
But let's get back to the question. If the bird is flying at an average speed of 12 miles per hour, we can calculate the travel time.
202 miles divided by 12 miles per hour gives us approximately 16.8333 hours.
Now, let's convert that into hours and minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so to find the number of minutes, we can multiply the decimal portion of the answer (0.8333) by 60.
0.8333 multiplied by 60 gives us 49.9998, which we can round up to 50 minutes.
So, the bird will take approximately 16 hours and 50 minutes to travel 202 miles.
But who knows what kind of detours, snack breaks, and impromptu bird parties it might encounter along the way!
To determine how long it will take a bird traveling at an average speed of 12 miles per hour to cover a distance of 202 miles, you can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
In this case, the distance is 202 miles and the speed is 12 miles per hour. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Time = 202 miles / 12 miles per hour
To divide the miles by miles per hour, we need to convert the miles per hour to miles per minute, since we want the answer in hours and minutes. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so we can convert the speed to miles per minute by dividing it by 60:
12 miles per hour / 60 minutes = 0.2 miles per minute
Now we can calculate the time it will take:
Time = 202 miles / 0.2 miles per minute
To divide by a decimal, you can multiply both sides by 10 to move the decimal point:
Time = (202 miles * 10) / (0.2 miles per minute * 10)
Time = 2020 miles / 2 miles per minute
Time = 1010 minutes
To convert minutes to hours and minutes, divide the total minutes by 60:
1010 minutes / 60 = 16.83 hours
Now we have the time in hours, but we also need to determine the remaining minutes. To find the remaining minutes, multiply the decimal part of the hours (0.83) by 60:
0.83 hours * 60 minutes = 49.8 minutes
Therefore, it would take a bird traveling at an average speed of 12 miles per hour, approximately 16 hours and 49 minutes to cover a distance of 202 miles flying south for winter.
