Question

an eel travels at a speed of 2 miles per hour, A starfish travels one hundredth the speed of the eel, A falcon travels 10,000 times as fast as the starfish, How many more miles per hour can the falcon travel then the eel?

Answer 1

The eel travels 2 miles an hour. The starfish travels one hundredth of that. One hundredth of 2 is 0.02. Since the falcon is 10,000 times faster than a starfish, which is 0.02 miles an hour, you just multiply 0.02 by 10,000 which all you have to do is move the decimal to the right 4 times. 0.02 times 4 equals 200. Therefor the falcon can travel 200 times faster than the eel.
