Do it step by step:

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.1 and 1/4 hours = 60 + 15 mins = 75mins.

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.1 and 1/4 hours = 60 + 15 mins = 75mins.The whale can swim 40 miles in 75 mins. So devide 40 by 75 and this is how far it can swim in 1 min. = 40/75 = 0.53333333333333333333333333333333 miles.

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.1 and 1/4 hours = 60 + 15 mins = 75mins.The whale can swim 40 miles in 75 mins. So devide 40 by 75 and this is how far it can swim in 1 min. = 40/75 = 0.53333333333333333333333333333333 miles.1 hour = 60 mins so multiply how far the whale can swim in 1 min (0.53333333333333333333333333333333) by 60 to get how far the whale can swim in 1 hour. = 60*0.53333333333333333333333333333333 = 32 miles.

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.1 and 1/4 hours = 60 + 15 mins = 75mins.The whale can swim 40 miles in 75 mins. So devide 40 by 75 and this is how far it can swim in 1 min. = 40/75 = 0.53333333333333333333333333333333 miles.1 hour = 60 mins so multiply how far the whale can swim in 1 min (0.53333333333333333333333333333333) by 60 to get how far the whale can swim in 1 hour. = 60*0.53333333333333333333333333333333 = 32 miles.Here is another way of working this out - by fractions.

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.1 and 1/4 hours = 60 + 15 mins = 75mins.The whale can swim 40 miles in 75 mins. So devide 40 by 75 and this is how far it can swim in 1 min. = 40/75 = 0.53333333333333333333333333333333 miles.1 hour = 60 mins so multiply how far the whale can swim in 1 min (0.53333333333333333333333333333333) by 60 to get how far the whale can swim in 1 hour. = 60*0.53333333333333333333333333333333 = 32 miles.Here is another way of working this out - by fractions.1 hour = 4 quarters hours

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.1 and 1/4 hours = 60 + 15 mins = 75mins.The whale can swim 40 miles in 75 mins. So devide 40 by 75 and this is how far it can swim in 1 min. = 40/75 = 0.53333333333333333333333333333333 miles.1 hour = 60 mins so multiply how far the whale can swim in 1 min (0.53333333333333333333333333333333) by 60 to get how far the whale can swim in 1 hour. = 60*0.53333333333333333333333333333333 = 32 miles.Here is another way of working this out - by fractions.1 hour = 4 quarters hours1 and one forth of an hour = 5 quarter hours

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.1 and 1/4 hours = 60 + 15 mins = 75mins.The whale can swim 40 miles in 75 mins. So devide 40 by 75 and this is how far it can swim in 1 min. = 40/75 = 0.53333333333333333333333333333333 miles.1 hour = 60 mins so multiply how far the whale can swim in 1 min (0.53333333333333333333333333333333) by 60 to get how far the whale can swim in 1 hour. = 60*0.53333333333333333333333333333333 = 32 miles.Here is another way of working this out - by fractions.1 hour = 4 quarters hours1 and one forth of an hour = 5 quarter hoursit takes the whale 5 quarter hours to swim 40 miles so how far can it swim in 4 quarter hours or 4/5 ths of the time.

Here is one way of working this out - find out how far the whale can swim in 1 min.1 and 1/4 hours = 60 + 15 mins = 75mins.The whale can swim 40 miles in 75 mins.
