Answer : 1500 miles

According to the distance time relationship

Distance = Rate x time

From the figure given, the hawk flies 500 miles in 5 days

We can find our rate using the above parameters

Since, distance = rate x time

Rate = distance / time

Rate = 500 / 5

Rate = 100 miles / day

Since, the rate remains constant

How far the hawk can fly in 15 days can be calculated as follows

Time = 15 days

Rate = 100

Distance = ?

Disatnce = rate x time

Distance = 100 x 15

Distance = 1500 miles

The Hawk can fly 1500 miles in 15 days
