David, Ping, Mandy, and Alan are each studying one of the animals shown in the table for a science project. Animal Study Project Animal Speed Type Habitat Elephant 25 mph (running) Mammal Grasslands Sailfish 68 mph (swimming) Fish Oceans Giraffe 32 mph (running) Mammal Grasslands Dolphin 30 mph (swimming) Mammal Oceans Source: www.worldalmanacforkids.com David is studying a mammal, but Ping is not. The animal that Mandy is studying can be found in the ocean. The animal that Alan is studying is slower than the animal that David is studying. Which animal is David study?
Giraffe
it would be the giraffe
thnx
Giraffe! This is because... (lol, my dramatic '...') Ping is not studying a mammal and there is only one animal that isn't a mammal, so he must be studying the sailfish. Then we look at Mandy, and she is studying something from the ocean. Because we know Ping is studying the sailfish, she must be studying the dolphin. Then we only have the elephant and giraffe left, the elephant is slower than the giraffe, so the elephant must be Alan's! and therefore the giraffe it is! :D
