Question

Which of the following equations, where d is distance in miles and t is time in hours, represents a speed that is less than that of the leatherback sea turtle?

Answer 1

Options (A) and (B)

Explanation:

Speed of the leatherback sea turtle = 21.92 miles per hour

If the sea turtle travels distance 'd' in 't' hours,

Speed
`=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}`

Speed that is less than 21.92 mph are 2.192 mph and 20 mph,

For speed = 20 mph

20 =
`(d)/(t)`

d = 20t

For speed = 2.192 mph

2.192 =
`(d)/(t)`

d = 2.192t

Therefore, Options (A) and (B) are the correct options.
