Let’s check out your problem:

The great snipe is the fastest known migratory bird. Scientists found that the bird can fly non-stop for approximately 4200 miles (mi). If the bird's speed is an average of 98 kilometers per hour 
((km)/(hr)), how many hours can the great snipe fly without stopping?
(Round the answer to the nearest tenth. 1 kilometer 
~~0.62 miles)

Q. The great snipe is the fastest known migratory bird. Scientists found that the bird can fly non-stop for approximately 42004200 miles (mi). If the bird's speed is an average of 9898 kilometers per hour (kmhr) \left(\frac{\mathrm{km}}{\mathrm{hr}}\right) , how many hours can the great snipe fly without stopping?\newline(Round the answer to the nearest tenth. 11 kilometer 0.62 \approx 0.62 miles)
  1. Convert to Kilometers: First, we need to convert the distance from miles to kilometers because the bird's speed is given in kilometers per hour.\newlineWe know that 11 kilometer is approximately equal to 0.620.62 miles. Therefore, to convert 42004200 miles to kilometers, we use the conversion factor.\newlineCalculation: 42004200 miles ×(1 kilometer0.62 miles)=42000.62\times \left(\frac{1 \text{ kilometer}}{0.62 \text{ miles}}\right) = \frac{4200}{0.62} kilometers.
  2. Calculate Distance in Kilometers: Perform the division to find the distance in kilometers.\newlineCalculation: 4200/0.62=6774.19354838714200 / 0.62 = 6774.1935483871 kilometers.
  3. Calculate Time in Hours: Now that we have the distance in kilometers, we can calculate the time it takes for the great snipe to fly this distance at an average speed of 9898 kilometers per hour.\newlineWe use the formula: Time=DistanceSpeed\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}.\newlineCalculation: Time=6774.1935483871 kilometers98 kilometers per hour\text{Time} = \frac{6774.1935483871 \text{ kilometers}}{98 \text{ kilometers per hour}}.
  4. Find Rounded Time: Perform the division to find the time in hours.\newlineCalculation: 6774.1935483871/98=69.12346774.1935483871 / 98 = 69.1234 hours.
  5. Find Rounded Time: Perform the division to find the time in hours.\newlineCalculation: 6774.1935483871/98=69.12346774.1935483871 / 98 = 69.1234 hours. Round the answer to the nearest tenth of an hour as requested.\newlineCalculation: 69.123469.1234 hours rounded to the nearest tenth is 69.169.1 hours.
