Question

Suppose a hawk can fly 78 miles in 3 hours. An owl can fly 99 miles in 4 hours. Which raptor can fly faster and by how much?

Answer 1

The Hawk can fly faster

Explanation:

First, take 78/3 that will give you the miles per hours the hawk flys.

78/3 = 26 miles/ per hour

Then, do the same for the owl.

99/4 = 24.75 miles an hour.

To find out how much faster the hawk in than the owl suntract the owls miles per hour from the hawks miles per hour.

24.75 - 26 = 1.25 miles faster
