Answer:

Option C .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here it is given that there are two species of birds which fly at different rates.

  • Species A can fly 18.9 miles in 42min .
  • Species B can fly 20.3miles in 59min .

We can use the formula here ,

[tex]\longrightarrow \red{ Speed =\dfrac{Distance} {Time} }[/tex]

For Species A :-

Substitute the respective values in stated formula ,

[tex]\longrightarrow v_A = \dfrac{18.9\ miles}{42min}\\[/tex]

Simplify ,

[tex]\longrightarrow v_A = 0.45\ miles / min [/tex]

For species B :-

Substitute the respective values in stated formula,

[tex]\longrightarrow v_B =\dfrac{20.3\ miles}{58min}\\ [/tex]

[tex]\longrightarrow v_B = 0.35\ miles / min [/tex]

Therefore from above calculations we can say that ,

[tex]\underline{\underline{ v_A > v_B }}[/tex]

Species B is slower and it can fly 0.35miles/minute .
