Question

A bird flies from the South Pole to the North Pole. Part of the journey is 1000 miles that takes 2 weeks. What is the bird’s velocity in that time?

Answer 1

We Know, Velocity = Distance / Time
Here, Distance = 1000 miles
Time = 2 weeks = 14*24 Hours [ 1 week = 7 days & 1 day = 24 hours ]
Time = 336 Hours

Now, substitute the values,
Velocity = 1000/336 = 2.976 miles/hour

So, your final answer is 2.976 miles/hour

Hope this helps! Happy studying :)
