Answer:

4 days and 4 hours.

Explanation:

The Sea horse travels in 0.01 mph which is the speed and we need to find how long it takes to travel a mile in days and hours to assume the distance as 1 mile. Next, we can use the equation speed= distance/time and rearrange the equation to make time the subject.

time= distance/speed

Plug the values in:

time= 1 mile/ 0.01 mph

Since the mile and mile in both units cancel out the answer will come in hours.

time= 100 hours

To convert into days and hours we will find the nearest number to a hundred that will divide by 24. The nearest number to 100 that is divided by 24 is 96. 24×4=96.

Since 24 hours is a day there are 4 days in 96 hours. the remainder will be considered as hours as it cannot be divided by 24. So 100-96=4 hours.

That means that the answer is 4 days and 4 hours.
