Answer:

It takes the Dolphin 2 hours for swimming 40 miles. The penguin takes 8 hours and the swordfish will take 2/3 of an hour, which is 40 minutes to travel 40 miles.

Explanation:

Given :

The bottlenose dolphin travels 40 miles in 2 hours. Or it takes 20 miles in 1 hour.

Now, dividing the distance by unit rate given in the question:

40/20=2 hours

40/5=8 hours

40รท60= 2/3 hour

Therefore,

- the dolphin takes 2 hours for swimming 40 miles.

- the penguin takes 8 hours

- the swordfish takes 2/3 rd of an hour
