A Canadian goose flew 845 km from Southern California to Oregon with an average speed of 28.0 m/s. How long, in hours, did it take the goose to make his journey?
time= distance/avgvelocity
change distance to m from km
then finally change time from s to hr

how far would a geese fly at a speed of 40 mile per hour for a time of 16 hours
To find the time it took the Canadian goose to fly from Southern California to Oregon, we need to use the formula:
time = distance / speed
First, let's convert the distance from kilometers to meters:
distance = 845 km * 1000 m/km = 845,000 m
Now we can plug in the values into the formula:
time = 845,000 m / 28.0 m/s
To calculate the time, we divide the distance by the speed. Let's do the math:
time = 30,178.57 s
However, the question asks for the time in hours. To convert seconds to hours, we divide the seconds by the number of seconds in an hour, which is 3,600 seconds:
time = 30,178.57 s / 3600 s/hr
Now we can calculate the time:
time ≈ 8.38 hrs
Therefore, it took the Canadian goose approximately 8.38 hours to make the journey from Southern California to Oregon.
