Answer:

In 5 hours, the migrating bird will frly 215 miles.

Explanation:

Since the bird flys 688 miles in 16 hours we need to find the unit rate. So i divided 16 by the 16 hours which gave me 1, so i also divided 688 by 16 and i got 43. So the bird flys 43 miles in a hour. We are not done yet because we need to find how many miles in 5 hours. So we multiply the 43 miles by 5 and got 215, and i also multiplied the 1 hour bye 5 and got 5. Last but not least, the migrating bird will fly 215 miles in 5 hours. I hope that this will help you out.
