Answer:
Butterfly will need 9.0579 days of flying at speed of 11.5 miles per hour to cover distance of 2500 meters.
Solution:
Speed of butterfly = 11.5 miles per hour
Butterfly should complete a trip of distance = 2500 miles
Need to calculate number of days (without counting rest)
As time required = [tex]\frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]
Time required by butterfly in hours [tex]= \frac{2500}{11.5} = 217.3913 hours[/tex]
Now we need to convert number of hours in number of days
As 24 hours = 1 day
[tex]\text { So } 1 \text { hour }= \frac{1}{24} days[/tex]
[tex]\text { So } 217.3913 \text { hours }=\frac{1}{24} \times 217.3913=9.0579[/tex]
So butterfly will need 9.0579 days of flying at speed of 11.5 miles per hour to cover distance of 2500 meters.
