The Incredible Journey of a Pelican

How fast does a pelican fly?

A pelican flies at a speed of 52 km/h for 0.25 hours.

How many miles does the pelican travel?

The conversion factor is 1.6 km/h = 1.0 mph.

Answer:

The pelican traveled 487.5 miles.

Let's break down the calculation for the distance traveled by the pelican:

First, we need to convert the speed from kilometers per hour (km/h) to miles per hour (mph). We use the conversion factor of 1.6 km/h = 1.0 mph.

52 km/h ÷ 1.6 = 32.5 mph

Next, we find out how many minutes are in 0.25 hours, which is 15 minutes.

Finally, we multiply the speed in mph by the time in hours to get the total distance traveled:

32.5 mph x 15 minutes = 487.5 miles
