Question

Two species of birds are being compared. Species A can fly 18.9 miles in 42 minutes, while species B can fly 20.3 miles in 58 minutes. Which species is slower, and at what speed can it fly?
Species A is slower, and it can fly 0.35 miles per minute.
Species A is slower, and it can fly 0.45 miles per minute.
Species B is slower, and it can fly 0.35 miles per minute.
Species B is slower, and it can fly 0.45 miles per minute.

Answer 1

A : \(\dfrac{18.9}{42} = 0.45\)

B : \(\dfrac{20.3}{58}=0.35\)

so B is slower and goes 0.35/min
