Question

In 2012 a dolphin named M007 was tracked as he swam through the Atlantic waters.

He swam 600 miles in 67 days. For 26.4 miles, M007 was tracked off the eastern
coast of Florida. How long did M007 spend near the coast of Florida? Round your
answer to nearest tenth of a day if necessary.

Answer 1

2.9 days

Explanation:

Need days / mile

67 days / 600 mi = .1116666 day/mile

.1116666 day/mi * 26.4 mi = 2.948 day ~ 2.9 days

OR

Miles per day

600 mi / 67 day = 8.9552 mi / day

26.4 mi / (8.9552 mi/day) = 2.948 ~ 2.9 day
