Q. The great snipe can fly up to 44,000000 miles ( mi \mathrm{mi} ) without stopping for food or water at a speed of 6060 miles per hour (mph) (\mathrm{mph}) . What is the maximum number of days, to the nearest tenth, that the great snipe can fly without stopping?
  1. Given Information: Given: The great snipe can fly up to 4,0004,000 miles without stopping at a speed of 6060 miles per hour.\newlineFind the total time in hours it would take to fly 4,0004,000 miles.\newlineTotal_time_hours=Total_distanceSpeed\text{Total\_time\_hours} = \frac{\text{Total\_distance}}{\text{Speed}}\newlineTotal_time_hours=4,000 miles60 mph\text{Total\_time\_hours} = \frac{4,000 \text{ miles}}{60 \text{ mph}}
  2. Calculate Total Time: Perform the calculation for the total time in hours.\newlineTotal_time_hours=4,00060Total\_time\_hours = \frac{4,000}{60}\newlineTotal_time_hours=66.666Total\_time\_hours = 66.666\ldots hours
  3. Convert to Days: Convert the total time from hours to days since we want the answer in days.\newlineTotal_time_days=Total_time_hours24Total\_time\_days = \frac{Total\_time\_hours}{24}\newlineTotal_time_days=66.66624Total\_time\_days = \frac{66.666\ldots}{24}
  4. Calculate Total Time in Days: Perform the calculation for the total time in days.\newlineTotal_time_days=66.66624Total\_time\_days = \frac{66.666\ldots}{24}\newlineTotal_time_days2.777Total\_time\_days \approx 2.777\ldots days
  5. Round to Nearest Tenth: Round the total time in days to the nearest tenth. Total_time_days_rounded=2.8\text{Total\_time\_days\_rounded} = 2.8 days
