Answer: B 192

Step-by-step explanation: In the picture attached, the complete question is shown.

The humpback whale traveled 2240 miles in 28 days. This makes the following rate:

rate = distance/time = 2240/28 = 80 miles/day

The distance traveled at this rate in 32 days is:

distance = rate * time = 80*32 = 2560 miles

The gray whales traveled 2368 miles in 32 days. Then, the humpback whales would have traveled 2560 - 2368 = 192 miles more than the gray whales.
