Canadian geese fly south every winter. During this migration, the geese need a lot of rest. So, they do not fly for too many hours each day. A scientist tracked one group of geese that only flew 3 hours each day. These geese flew 30 miles each hour. By the end of their trip, they had flown 2,700 miles. How many days did it take the geese to fly south that winter?
Plz Help I'm Very BAd At MAth
:)))
dose any one know de answer????????????
Nope
Ty Lol i found out already but ty again <3
No problem! We can solve this problem step by step.
First, let's find the total number of hours the geese spent flying by dividing the total distance they flew by the distance they covered each hour:
Distance = Speed × Time
So, if they flew for 3 hours each day, we can calculate the total distance they flew per day:
Distance per day = Speed × Time per day
Distance per day = 30 miles/hour × 3 hours = 90 miles per day
Now, let's find out how many days it took for the geese to cover a total distance of 2,700 miles:
Number of days = Total distance ÷ Distance per day
Number of days = 2,700 miles ÷ 90 miles per day
Number of days = 30 days
Therefore, it took the geese 30 days to fly south for the winter.
I hope this explanation helps you with your math problem. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
in a day they fly 3 hours * 30 miles/hour = 90 miles/day
x days * 90 miles/day= 2700 miles
x = 2700 miles / 90 miles/day = 270/9 = 30 days
