Answer :
Final answer:
The duck traveled 65.2 miles in one hour by dividing the total distance traveled in one and a half hours (97.8 miles) by 1.5.
Explanation:
To determine how far the duck traveled in one hour given its travel distance of 97.8 miles in one and a half hours, we use the concept of proportion. Since the speed is constant, the distance traveled in one hour will be two-thirds of the distance traveled in one and a half hours. First, we calculate the distance for one hour:
- (Distance traveled in 1.5 hours) / 1.5 = (Distance traveled in 1 hour)
- (97.8 miles) / 1.5 = (Distance traveled in 1 hour)
- 65.2 miles = (Distance traveled in 1 hour)
Therefore, the duck traveled 65.2 miles in one hour.
