Final answer:

The caribou herd would cover a distance of 44.64 miles in 3 days, traveling at a speed of 0.62 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance covered, we need to multiply the speed by the time. In this case, the caribou herd is traveling at a speed of 0.62 miles per hour for 3 days.

To convert the speed from miles per hour to miles per day, we can multiply it by 24 (since there are 24 hours in a day).

So the speed is 0.62 * 24 = 14.88 miles per day.

To calculate the distance covered, we can multiply the speed by the number of days: 14.88 * 3 = 44.64 miles.
