Question

A crow can fly at a speed of 50 mph and a starling at a speed of 74 mph. How far will the starling fly in the time it takes the crow to fly 75 miles?

Answer 1

BY the time the crow flies 75 miles, the starling had fly 111 miles

Answer 2

Starling will fly 111 miles.

Explanation:

Given,

Speed of crow = 50 mph,

Also, distance it covered = 75 miles,

`\because Speed = (Distance)/(Time)\implies = Time =(Distance)/(Speed)`

Thus, the time taken by crow =
`(75)/(50)` = 1.5 hours,

Now, speed of Starling = 74 mph,

Thus, the distance covered by it = speed × time

= 74 × 1.5

= 111 miles
