Question

A group of robins took 78 days to fly 3000 miles. On average about how many miles did the robins flight each day? Explain why your estimate is reasonable.

Answer 1

`34.48\text{ miles}`

Explanation:

GIVEN: A group of robins took
`78` days to fly
`3000` miles.

TO FIND: On average about how many miles did the robins flight each day.

SOLUTION:

Total number of days taken by robins to fly the distance
`=78`

Total distance traveled by robins
`=3000\text{ miles}`

Now,

Average miles robins flights each day
`=\frac{\text{total miles traveled by robin}}{\text{total days taken}}`

`=(3000)/(78)`

`=34.48`

Hence robin flight average
`34.48` miles each day.
