Answer:

B 192

Explanation:

In the picture attached, the complete question is shown.

The humpback whale traveled 2240 miles in 28 days. This makes the following rate:

rate = distance/time = 2240/28 = 80 miles/day

The distance traveled at this rate in 32 days is:

distance = rate * time = 80*32 = 2560 miles

The gray whales traveled 2368 miles in 32 days. Then, the humpback whales would have traveled 2560 - 2368 = 192 miles more than the gray whales.

if the humpback whale had traveled at the same rate for 32 days how many more miles-example-1

For the answer to the question above, I've seen and answered this question before. If the humpback whale is traveling 2240 miles in 28 days it's traveling 80 miles/day
so 32 days would be 80×32=2560
and 2560-2368= 192
So if the humpback were to travel for 32 days it would travel 192 miles more than the gray whale.
