Q. The great snipe can fly up to

4

,

000

miles (

\mathrm{mi}

) without stopping for food or water at a speed of

60

miles per hour (mph). What is the maximum number of days, to the nearest tenth, that the great snipe can fly without stopping?

Calculate total time in hours: We need to calculate the total time the great snipe can fly without stopping and then convert that time into days. The distance the great snipe can fly without stopping is $4,000$ miles, and it flies at a speed of $60$ miles per hour. $\newline$ First, we calculate the total time in hours by dividing the distance by the speed. $\newline$ Total time (in hours) = $\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$ $\newline$ Total time (in hours) = $\frac{4,000 \text{miles}}{60 \text{mph}}$ $\newline$ Total time (in hours) = $66.6667$ hours
Convert total time to days: Now, we need to convert the total time from hours to days since there are $24$ hours in a day. $\newline$ Total time (in days) = $\frac{\text{Total time (in hours)}}{24}$ $\newline$ Total time (in days) = $\frac{66.6667}{24}$ $\newline$ Total time (in days) $\approx 2.7778$ days
Round total time to nearest tenth: Round the total time to the nearest tenth of a day. $\newline$ Total time (in days) $\approx 2.8$ days
