The peregrine falcon flies in the time it takes the eagle to fly 40 miles is 64 miles away.
What is the average speed?
The average speed is the total distance traveled by the object in a particular time interval.
The average speed is a scalar quantity.
The average speed of a golden eagle is 30 mph and the average speed of a peregrine falcon is 48 mph.
The time to fly 40 miles (that time is x):
miles hours
30 ⇒ 1
40 ⇒ x
We use the rule of three which is to multiply the cross quantities on the table and divide by the remaining quantity:
x = 40(1)/30
x = 4/3 hour
it takes the eagle 4/3 flies to fly 40 miles.
Now we use the velocity of the falcon: 48mph, which can also be represented as:
miles hours
48 ⇒ 1
and we need the distance in miles that the falcon flies in 4/3 hours :
miles hours
48 ⇒ 1
x ⇒ 4/3
Again we use the rule of three (multiply cross quantities and divide by the remaining quantity)
x = (48)× (4/3)
x = 64 miles
Hence, the peregrine falcon flies in the time it takes the eagle to fly 40 miles is 64 miles away.
