Question

A scientist studied the migration patterns of two types of whales.

. The humpback whales traveled 2,240 miles in 28 days .
. The gray whales traveled 2,368 miles in 32 days.

If the humpback whales had traveled at the same rate for 32 days , how many more miles would they have travels than the gray whales

Answer 1

Answer:2,560

Explanation:

2,240 -:- 28 = 80

80 X 32 =2,560

Answer 2

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.
